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.
