Making history in Kuwait
editMahsa Pourrahmati, at the age of 21, and in her first appearance in the Asian under-23 championships, was able to win the first Iranian women's fencing medal in the individual division after the Islamic Revolution. Pourrahmati was able to win a bronze medal in the 2013 Asian Games hosted by Kuwait, in the situation where Iranian women's fencing in the individual division had not been able to win a medal in the senior category and hopes of Asia.[1][2]
Spell breaking in Thailand
editThe 2018 Asian Fencing Championship in Thailand ended while the Iranian team was able to reach the top 8 teams in the team épée section for the first time in the presence of Asian and world powers. Mahsa Pourrahmati said after the success achieved in the Asian Championship: "In the past, our best rank was the 13th or 14th Asian team, but this year, with 4 months of consecutive training, we were able to beat Australia." 2 Australian fencers were in the top 16 and their score was higher than ours, but by God's grace we eliminated this team and reached the top 8 teams in Asia.[3][4] Pourrahmati has stated that her next goal is to win the Olympic quota.[5]
