The International Judo Federation (IJF) has listed Diyora Keldiyorova of Uzbekistan as one of the contenders for the “Female Judoka of the Year” award. This was announced on the official IJF website.
Keldiyorova is competing for the title alongside top judokas, including Alice Bellandi (Italy), Krista Deguchi (Canada), Andreja Leski (Slovenia), Barbara Matic (Croatia), Beatriz Souza (Brazil), and Natsumi Tsunoda (Japan).
Notably, Keldiyorova secured a gold medal in the judo finals of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where she triumphed over Kosovo’s Distria Krasniqi.
Her victory marked a historic achievement for Uzbekistan, as she became the first Uzbek judoka to win an Olympic gold medal, elevating the country’s standing in the international judo community.
Previously, Keldiyorova was also honored as Uzbekistan’s best female athlete of the year.
