Securing Tokyo 2020 Slot Is My Priority: Siamand Rahman

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The world’s strongest Paralympian Siamand Rahman says he wants to make sure winning a slot at the Tokyo 2020 first and then will think about winning a medal.

He will be in action on the penultimate day of the 2019 World Para Powerlifting Championships in Nur-Sultan (19 July) in Kazakhstan.

The question arises whether he will be able to break his own world record of 310kg in Nur-Sultan or wait until the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

“Attending the competitions in Kazakhstan is very important to me. It is a prerequisite of Tokyo 2020, and that is my concern,” he said.

“I want to make sure I secure my Tokyo 2020 slot first in Kazakhstan – and then win a medal. It’s all about getting prepared for the Paralympics,” he added.
