Career

Early career

Born in Dushanbe[1] the capital of Tajikistan, his first noteworthy international result was a bronze medal at the 1997 West Asian Games.[2] He made his debut on the global stage at the 1998 World Junior Championships in Athletics, but he did not reach the final.[3] His first continental gold medal came at the 1999 Asian Junior Athletics Championships.[4] He took fifth place at the 2000 World Junior Championships, an event won by 2004 Olympic bronze medalist Eşref Apak, and repeated as the continental junior champion at the 2001 Asian Junior Athletics Championships.[5]

Nazarov then finished fourth at the

Ali Mohamed Al-Zinkawi of Kuwait.[7] He took part in the inaugural Afro-Asian Games and managed to win the silver medal behind South African thrower Chris Harmse.[8] Another medal came at the 2003 Central Asian Games in Dushanbe, where he took the hammer gold for the hosts.[9]

Olympic debut and Asian medals

Participating in the

2005 Asian Championships in Incheon Nazarov won a silver medal, again behind Al-Zinkawi.[7]

At the

World Championships in 1993 and 1995. When he won his first and only Asian Games medal, a silver at the 1998 edition, he did so as an Uzbekistani citizen. Commenting on the victory, Nazarov stated that "This is a big victory for my country".[14]

The next year Nazarov participated in his second

2007 Asian Championships, he won the silver medal, again behind Al-Zinkawi, this time by only one centimetre.[15] He also improved his personal best throw to 78.89 metres, in June in Dushanbe. In 2008 he improved further, to 79.05 at a June meet in Almaty. At the 2008 Olympic Games he finished eleventh in the final.[6]

He set a new national hammer throw record of 79.28 m in Uberlândia, Brazil. The record, set in May 2009, was enough to bring him victory over Olympic champion Primož Kozmus.[16] He finished eleventh again at the global level at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics in Berlin. He improved to fifth place at the 2009 IAAF World Athletics Final however. He won his first continental title at the end of the year, finally beating Al-Zinkawi at the 2009 Asian Athletics Championships after a series of second-place finishes.[17]

The following year, he improved his hammer best to 80.11 m at the Tajikistan national championships in June.

Hanzekovic Memorial.[22]

Nazarov performed less well in the 2012 season and his best throw that year was 77.70 m.

On 18 March 2021, Nazarov was banned for two years by the
