Zahra Nemati Aims to Win Olympic and Paralympics Places

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian para archer Zahra Nemati has a chance at winning places for both the Olympic and Paralympics in Tokyo 2020 again.

The largest World Para Archery Championships in nearly two decades is underway in ’s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands; with nearly 300 athletes from 52 countries participating.

World titles will be at stake and will set up the momentum for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, as the competition also acts as the primary qualification tournament for the Games.

Nemati, the two-time Paralympic champion, is also a two-time world champion, defending her crown from 2017 in Den Bosch this year. She was the only Paralympian in 2016 to also compete at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Nemati is staying in ’s-Hertogenbosch for two straight weeks, competing at the Para championships at the Hyundai World Archery Championships – and she has a chance at winning places for both the Olympic and Paralympics in Tokyo 2020 again.

Eighty places for Tokyo 2020 will be available, Paralympic.org reported.
