Uzbekistan competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.The lone bright spot for the Uzbekistani team in Athens was Asian champion Lyubov Perepelova's run to the semifinals in the women's 100 meters. This was marred, however, by the positive drug test of shot putter Olga Shchukina. Asian decathlon champion Vitaliy Smirnov had three new personal bests on his way to a 17th place finish. Perepelova and Guzel Khubbieva were the only Uzbekistani in athletics to advance to at least the second round in their competition.Uzbekistan sent nine boxers to Athens. All nine made it past the round of 32, with five victories and four byes. Four of the boxers fell in the round of 16 (two of which had not had matches in the round of 32). Three more barely missed medalling by being defeated in the quarterfinals, while the two that had won their quarterfinal boutsboth lost in the semifinals to earn bronze medals. These two bronze medals put the Uzbekis in a four-way tie for 12th place in the boxing medals count. The combined record of the nine boxers was 12 9.
