Sharifa Davronova wins second Asian Games triple jump gold
Uzbekistan’s Sharifa Davronova retained her Asian Games triple jump title in Aichi-Nagoya with a personal best of 14.35 metres.
Sharifa Davronova delivered a championship performance on the opening evening of the Asian Games athletics programme in Nagoya. The 19-year-old representative of Uzbekistan won the women’s triple jump with 14.35 metres, setting a personal best and claiming the second Asian Games gold medal of her career.
Gold with a personal best in Nagoya
The women’s triple jump final took place on 24 September at Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium. Davronova’s 14.35-metre mark secured first place and gave Uzbekistan an early gold in the track and field programme.
The result was confirmed as a personal best. It extended Davronova’s lead over a strong Chinese pairing and added another major title to the Uzbek athlete’s record.
The women’s triple jump podium
Huang Yingying of China won silver with 14.12 metres, equalling her personal best. Her teammate Li Yi completed the podium with a bronze-medal mark of 13.83 metres.
Davronova therefore finished 23 centimetres ahead of the silver medallist in a final where each of the top three athletes represented either Uzbekistan or China.
- Gold — Sharifa Davronova, Uzbekistan: 14.35 m (personal best)
- Silver — Huang Yingying, China: 14.12 m (equal personal best)
- Bronze — Li Yi, China: 13.83 m
A successful Asian Games title defence
Davronova first won the Asian Games women’s triple jump in Hangzhou in 2023, recording 14.09 metres. Her victory in Aichi-Nagoya made her a two-time Asian Games champion in the discipline.
Improving the winning mark to 14.35 metres underlines the progress made between the two editions and gives the Uzbek athlete consecutive continental titles before her twentieth birthday.
Success from junior level to the continental stage
The victory continues a record that already includes two World U20 triple jump titles, won in Cali in 2022 and Lima in 2024. Davronova also won the inaugural Asian U23 title in July 2026.
Those results show a consistent progression from age-group championships to senior continental competition. In Nagoya, that progression produced both another major gold medal and a new personal best.
A gold medal shared with her supporters
After the final, Davronova said she was happy and excited to win gold, with the personal best adding to the celebration. She also thanked the federation, her compatriots and her loved ones for supporting her athletic journey.
