Yasin Khosravi

Started: He took up Para athletics in 2014. (isna.ir, 24 Jul 2023) Reason: "I went to the Youth and Sports Department of Paveh City [in the Islamic Republic of Iran]. I told them that I was interested in sports, and wanted to go to the Olympics. They introduced me to the Veterans and Disabled Committee of Kermanshah Province. I told one of the officials there that I wanted to become a football player. He told me due to the distance from my residence to the training centre of the province, it was better for me to start an individual sport and continue my training near my residence. I did not accept and said that I was interested in football, until I realised that participating in a team sport did not suit me. Therefore, on the recommendation of head of the Veterans and Disabled Committee, I began training in throwing events." (isna.ir, 24 Jul 2023)
