The sports delegation of Uzbekistan, which took part in the 5th Islamic Unity Games in the Turkish city of Konya, was solemnly welcomed in Tashkent and the event continued at the National Olympic Committee. In this regard, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev sent congratulations to our athletes.

In his congratulations, the head of our state especially noted the great skill, strength, resilience, will and desire for victory of the members of our national team, who won 51 gold, 42 silver and 65 bronze medals in competitions involving 4,200 athletes from 56 countries. On behalf of all our people and on my own behalf, I expressed gratitude to the parents, coaches and mentors who brought up real patriots, devoted to their country and having high potential.

It should be reminded that yesterday the President signed a resolution on the promotion of one-time monetary rewards to athletes who became winners and prize-winners of these games, as well as their coaches.
