The World Chess Olympiad, held in Budapest, Hungary, concluded on September 22.

Uzbekistan’s chess team, consisting of Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Shamsiddin Vokhidov, Javokhir Sindarov, and Nodirbek Yokubboev, defeated the French team 2.5 to 1.5 in the 11th round. In the final matches, Abdusattorov, Sindarov, and Yokubboev all drew their games, while Vokhidov secured a victory.

As a result, Uzbekistan finished with 17 points. In a parallel match, the USA defeated China, leading to a tie among three teams with the same score of 17 points. Additional results were then considered: the USA claimed second place and silver medals due to their opponents' higher overall ratings throughout the tournament, while Uzbekistan surpassed China to win bronze.
