Iran’s Rahimi, Nemati among 10 Archers to Watch at Beijing 2017
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Gholamreza Rahimi and Zahra Nemati from Iran are among 10 archers to watch in the 2017 World Archery Para Championships.
More than 150 archers from around the world are taking part in the Championships in Beijing, China, the first major competition since the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, paralympic.org reported.
Rahimi is the top ranked archer in the men’s recurve open event. The reigning Paralympic gold medalist is revered for his talent and poise. He finished third at the 2015 edition in Donaueschingen, Germany.
Also, having focused on able-bodied competitions, Nemati returns to the World Archery Para Championships scene, which leads to a rematch with Wu. The Iranian two-time Paralympic champion and Olympian is perhaps the most popular archer in the world.
The 2017 World Archery Para Championships will be conducted in Beijing, China, from September 12 to 17.
