Iran’s chef de mission for the Tokyo Paralympic Games Hadi Rezaei says that a total of 50 Para athletes have earned their quota places for the Games so far but it\u2019s not the final list.<\/p>\n

Iran sent a record 110 athletes to Rio 2016, returning eight golds, nine silvers and seven bronzes to finish 15th in the medals table.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a webinar ran by Iran’s National Paralympic Committee (NPC), Rezaei, who won gold medals in sitting volleyball at Seoul 1988, Barcelona 1992 and Atlanta 1996 as a player, said that they are going to send nine sports to the prestigious competition.<\/p>\n

Iran will compete in athletics, archery, sitting volleyball, wheelchair basketball, taekwondo, rowing, judo, shooting and powerlifting at next year\u2019s Paralympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are preparing for the Paralympic Games and will participate in the warm-up tournaments but we would rather take part in the high-level events,\u201d Rezaei said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo male taekwondo practitioners have so far won their place in the Games but there is a chance we send a female to Tokyo. In shooting, three female shooters have booked their place so far. We will also send a female rower to the Games,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn archery, four male and one female will partake at the competition and in Judo we are going to send two practitioners to Tokyo but it could be increased to three,\u201d the Iran sitting volleyball head coach went on to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cSix powerlifters as well as nine Para athletes will be sent to Tokyo. Two sitting volleyball and wheelchair basketball teams consisting of 24 athletes will partake in the Games,\u201d Rezaei concluded.<\/p>\n

About 4,400 competitors from more than 160 countries were due to head to the Japanese capital for the Games this summer before it was postponed to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. \/T.T\/<\/p>\n
