Iran has now total of 8 medals, wow!

And a cool note about Zahra is...

"She competed in taekwondo before her legs were paralysed. She was a black belt and was in the national team. (sharghnewspaper.ir, 24 Jul 2011)"

Thank you Zahra!

It feels like I'm spamming this thread but guess what... We have another medal! This time in Powerlifting and it is a GOLD by Majid Farzin in the -82,59 Kg category.

And this means that we now have 10 medals in the games and 6 of them gold and I'm pretty sure we will have more medals! And now we are ranked 9th in the medal count.

Zahra Nemati's Gold medal is extremely significant - she is the first female Iranian Paralympian to ever win a Gold medal at the Paralympics.

[Kiarash]

Wow, we are ranked 9th.

Men's Football 5-a-side

Iran won against Great Britain 1-0 today!

And in Men's Sitting Volleyball..

We won against Bosnia&Herzegovina 3-1 in sets! And if I'm not mistaking I think we won against Bosnia in the final in 2008 Paralympics
