Iran's accomplished Paralympic champion shooter, Sareh Javanmardi, has been elected as one of the five athletes to serve on the Asian Paralympic Committee (AsPC) Athletes' Committee. This momentous occasion took place during the 2022 Asian Para Games held in Hangzhou, where a total of 1,034 athletes cast their votes. At the age of 38, Javanmardi has already made a name for herself in the world of Paralympic shooting. She gained international recognition when she was named the Allianz Best Female Athlete of the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

In addition to her remarkable shooting skills, Javanmardi had the honor of carrying Iran's flag during the Opening Ceremony of the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Para Games. This prestigious event was delayed by a year due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, making it an even more significant moment for Javanmardi and her fellow athletes.
