Stories that transform a nation require not only strength of spirit, but also flawless support behind the scenes. Diyora Keldiyorova is a name inscribed in the history of Uzbek sports. The first woman from Uzbekistan to win Olympic gold in judo at the 2024 Olympic Games, a world and Asian champion, and an emblem of unwavering determination and inspiration for a new generation of athletes.

When Yandex decided to share her journey with the world in the documentary “Diyora – The Narrow Path,” the athlete entrusted the legal support of the project to PraeLegal Uzbekistan. Our team provided comprehensive legal assistance throughout the collaboration—from contract execution and copyright protection to safeguarding the athlete’s personal and commercial interests.

The project was handled by Co-Managing Partner Sherzod Abdulkasimov and Senior Legal Counsel Shakhnoza Kodirova.

Thanks to their professionalism and seamless coordination of all legal aspects, the project was executed at an international level—with the dignity and recognition that the story of an Olympic champion deserves.
