Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Two UzDaily articles list slightly different medal details. The earlier piece omits Mohigul Sharobidinova’s silver in women’s F56/57 discus, which appears in the later article. The judo gold-medallist’s name is spelled both “Dovurkhon Karomatov” and “Dovurkhan Karomatov.” Apart from these points, the reports align.
