soly for championships, but to enhance health and strengthen the body. olympic champions can serve as exemplary role models for everyday individuals, motivating them embrace healthier lifestyle. iranian athletes made their olympic debut in 1948 and participated in their first winter games in 1956. the majority of iran's olympic medals have been earned in weightlifting, martial arts,

sports, we have not even qualified for the olympic games, let alone secured and medal. conversely, we have consistently won medals in wrestling, performed exceptionally well in tecuando in recent years and have had similar success in weightlifting. these individual sports have been a source of pride for us, while we still have a long way to go in team sports. iran has been a strong competitor in weightlifting since the mid-20th century. making its olympic debut in the sport in 1948. one of iran's most famous weightlifters is hossen reza zade who won gold medals in the 2000 sydney and 2004 athens olympics. he said multiple world records and is often regarded as one of the greatest weightlifters in history. likewise, iranian athletes compete in various martial arts with taekwondo being particularly prominent. the iranian taiko team has garnared several

medals in both the olympics and world championships. one notable figure is haji sai, who won two olympic gold medals in taikwando, that is in year 2000 and 2004. he is celebrated as one of the sports legends in iran. wrestling on the other hand has deep historical and cultural significance in iran and the country has produced some of the world's finest wrestlers. it's often seen as more than just a sport, it embodies national identity and pride. iran has a storied olympic wrestling history with numerous gold medals won across various styles, including freestyle and greeko-roman. the success of athletes like hasan yazdoni in recent olympics highlights iran's ongoing prowiss in the sports. since iran's first participation in the olympics at the 1948 summer games, iranian athletes have achieved a remarkable milestone by winning total of 88 medals by

the 2024 olympic games. this impressive count includes 27 gold medals, 29 silver medals and 32 bronze medals. all earned by 70 athletes in 19 summer games. this time the iranian delegation made a spectacular mark at the 2024 paris olympics, showcasing the strength and skill of its athletes who brought home an impressive hall of 12 medals, all earned in the fiercely competitive arenas of wrestling and taekwondough. mehdi monsarif, a tehran-based sports journalist. what is your general uh assessment? the iranian athlete's performance in the 2024 uh olympics and paralympics. in terms of results, if we examined the paris olympics, we achieved praiseworthy outcomes. following the london olympics in 2012 when our athletes delivered

their best performance since the victory of the islamic revolution, we had our strongest showing at the paris olympics regarding the number of medals won and our country's ranking. we secured. three golds, six silvers, and three bronze medals at the paris olympics, placing us 21st in the world. the final outcome appears favorable. iranian wrestlers once again fulfilled their ambitious goals, etching their names into the annals of the nation sports history by achieving the highest medal count ever for iran in any olympic games. in an electra fine display of talent and tenacity, the wrestling team secured a remarkable eight medals for.

for the conclusion of the 2024 olympics, it was believed that iran was undergoing its worst olympic period. however, with the medals we secured in the final two or three rounds in wrestling and taekwondo, we managed to transform the french olympics into our second best olympic experience. the four member taekwondo team on the other hand made headlines scripting their own chapter in history by bringing home four medals, one gold, two silvers and and one bronze aryan salimy's gold medal was particularly momentous marking iran's first victory in taikwando in 16 years and igniting wave of celebration among fans. in the two

disciplines of wrestling and medals at the olympics this year, it is note worthy that the presidents of the federations for these sports are our national champions, both mr. president of the tekwando federation and mr. dabir, president of the wrestling federation, are accomplished medalists. they were successful athletes, both having been olympic champions, and they maintain complete control over their respective disciplines. however, this situation is rarely seen in other federations. in my opinion, the key lesson from this olympic period is that experienced and knowledgeable individuals should be in charge of affairs.

mr. monsariv drew our attention to another interesting point concerning someranian athletes at the olimp games. اتفاقات خوب دیگه ما در المپیک پاریس این بود که ما one of the positive outcomes of the paris olympics was getting to know an exceptional rock climbing athlete named alipur. his performance was exceptional and he really deserved a medal with more support, as he himself said, he can really win medal in the next olympic games. in gymnastics, for the first time in our country's sports history, iranian athlete mr. mehdi olfati reached the final stage. in other words, although we did not win medals in these two sports, we took a significant step forward, which represents progress in areas beyond wrestling, taekwondo and weightlifting. we should diversify the disciplines in which we can win medals and not limit ourselves to just two or. disciplines. in recent years, iranian women

have excelled in the olympics earning prestigious medals across various sports disciplines. their achievement highlights their significant contributions to the nation, challenging the narrative often portrayed by western media about iran. their success not only showcases their athletic prowiss, but also reflects the evolving role of women in iranian society. what is your personal? and serve as a rebottle to claims made by some media outlets regarding the status of

women in the country, with increased attention from officials and more comprehensive planning, iranian female athletes can achieve even greater success. this is entirely attainable. one of the leading figures at the paris games was 19-year-old taiko prodigy mobinan ahmadzade who made a stunning olympic debut in the 49 kilogram category. with remarkable composure and skill, she captured the attention of fans everywhere. however, her journey to the gold medal was cut short by her chinese rival, which pushed her into a fierce battle for bronze against saudi arabia's dunya abu talib. rising to the occasion, nemad zode clinched the bronze, marking iran's second medal at the paris games. her trim was a landmark moment, huralding the first medal for iran's taekwondo team at these olympics.

not being able to win the gold medal, can you believe it? following closely was nahid kiani, another shining star in iran's taekwondo scene. she achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first iranian female taiquando athlete to win an olympic silver medal, further solidifying the legacy of iranian taiwando on the world stage. fortunately, in recent years, iranian federations have given more attention to women's sports than ever before. previously, the focus was primarily on male athletes, but

there has been a growing emphasis on female athletes in recent times. in this regard, commendable initiatives and appropriate investments have been made and the success of iranian female athletes can be partly attributed to this. on the other hand, the achievements of women on the international stage have empowered iranian women fostering a greater sense. of self-confidence that serves as a foundation for further successes across various fields and society, not just in sports and competitive events.

and elevate the iranian flag. their achievements demonstrate that iranian women can deliver outstanding performances on international stages and excel at the highest levels of competition. all of iran takes pride in their accomplishments and is honored to have such heroes. why does israel's international law breaking go unpunished? what happened to the icj finding of plausible genocide? what happened to the arrest
