A documentary about Olympic gold medalist - Arian Salimi

Hezar mashalla be Ariane aziz.

Such a solid bloke. I started to google and found this interview too.

Couldnt help cracking a few tears hearing about his story. Going from having rheumatism in the legs being unable to walk as a kid to winning olympic gold. Losing for 8 straight years not giving up.

A real role model.

Saw a documentary (and read the whole biography) of the para cyclist Bahman Golbarnejad, that died in paralympics Rio 2016. Devastating.

He finished last in the final, 1min 12s.
After 50m he was among the 4-6 but the last 50m were too difficult for Sina

We have two more silver and bronze. We finished 4th in javelin throw.

Why are we better in paralympics than in Olympics?

Btw Uzbekistan is impressive
