The Uzbekistan women's national artistic gymnastics team represents Uzbekistan in FIG international competitions.

History

[edit]

After the fall of the Soviet Union, a handful of former Soviet gymnasts started competing for Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan has never fielded a team at the Olympic Games; however they have sent at least one gymnast to each Olympic Games since 1996. Their 2012 Olympian, Luiza Galiulina, was disqualified after testing positive for the banned diuretic drug furosemide.[1]

Uzbek gymnast Oksana Chusovitina holds many Olympic records for the sport of gymnasts: at the 2020 Olympic Games, Chusovitina was 46 years old, making her the oldest female Olympic gymnast ever. Additionally she has competed at eight Olympic games (five of which she competed for Uzbekistan), the most of any Olympic gymnast.[2]
