The main contenders for winning tickets to the Beijing 2022 Games from the Uzbekistan Ski Federation are Kamiljon Tukhtaev and Valeria Kovaleva.

In accordance with the operational plan prepared by the Ski Federation of Uzbekistan and approved by the National Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of Uzbekistan, our athletes conduct TCB in Europe, Russia and Iran. Despite all the difficulties associated with the pandemic, the organizers of the program have met all the necessary safety conditions and created opportunities for our compatriots to join the ranks of participants in one of the main competitions of the fourth anniversary.
It should be noted that our athletes take part in skiing competitions in the disciplines: "Slalom" and "Giant Slalom".
