Rowing

Of the three boats Uzbekistan sent to the Olympics, only the single sculler Tchernenko finished ahead of more than one other boat. Tchernenko's qualification for the D final, avoiding the five weakest boats in the E final, was the rowing team's high point. While the other boats finished higher in overall ranking than Tchernenko, these positions were last and second last in their respective events.
