For anyone who wants to know how we did in 2008:

Hopefully we can beat that amount this year..

Our main strength is in strength type of sports, such as powerlifting,judo,wheelchair fencing and some of the athletics like discus/javelin throw.. We also are one of the best in volleyball/basketball.. we got Gold in volleyball and are the favourites for this year..

Our football 7aside got bronze in 2008, so we'll have a shout.. usually, we are good in indoor football (futsal), and this type of football suits us. did you know we beat brazil 4-0 in the bronze medal match? we also beat GB in the group stage 3-0. impressive.

our football 5 aside is playing argentina in the opening game (31st august) , and our football 7aside is playing holland (1st september)


Good luck to Iran

Quote by Seyed Mehdi Sayahi (the player that scored all nine of Iran's goals): "Fame is not important to us. Getting the gold is what is important."

Imagine if one of our footballers came out and said this.

Jalil Bagheri just won a gold medal in Shot Put. Also, his score was apparently a Paralympic record.

In other news, Iran beat the Netherlands in Men's 7-a-side Paralympic Football.

Go Iran, make us proud. I think our disabled athletes should deserve many attention too.
