Shahin Izadyar represented Iran in the 2016 Paralympic Games in the Men's 50m Freestyle - S10 and Men's 100m Breaststroke - SB9.

“I advanced to the final in the Men's 100m Breaststroke, bettering my personal best by three seconds. I think it’s a great honor for me,” Izadyar told Paralympic.ir.

“I also had a good performance at the Men's 50m Freestyle, beating my own previous record by 15.0 seconds,” he added.


 


“I am training now since I will have to book a place at the 2018 Para Asian Games in Indonesia. My goal is to show a good performance in the event,” Izadyar said.

“My long-term goal is to win a medal in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics and I need to participate at the more warm-up competitions to prepare for the event,” the 24-year-old para swimmer concluded.
