As we are not so much uh, far from Olympic games, I really want to talk about a person who uh, won uh, Olympic, an Olympic medal for this country. I can’t really call her name but uh, her first name was Nahee and I can’t remember his, sorry, her uh, middle name. Um, but the thing is uh, I really think that uh, she has gone through a lot of difficulties to want this prize. Uh, first of all, I think that uh, if we just don’t want to pay attention to the fact that it is really hard to be a uh, high grade athlete as a woman in Iran, uh, and if we don’t talk about this fact so much, the fact that she was going to uh, be in front of one of her friends, it really makes me feel m really impacting for her. Uh, and I don’t think that it was an ideal situation for her too because uh, you have to, you don’t have any uh, choice rather than defeating your friend and making care sad or you can just uh, play foolish or I don’t know, but you can let her win too. Uh, but I don’t know that if I were in that situation what would I do? But I think she made so uh, she made a right call and she uh, won that want that play. And after all in, she was in a better place than her friend. Uh, it was not her first time that she was going through this hard situation. It was her second time. The first time she was defeated but now um, she defeated her friend. Um, I think that she really uh, she was the right person to receive that pr because um. And she has gone through so many difficulties. I think uh, I can remember one of her memories that she was talking about that she reminisced that uh, she was uh, going to register.

I'd like to talk about an Iranian athlete who won an Olympic medal. I can't recall her full name, but her first name was Nahee. I believe she faced many challenges to achieve this victory. Firstly, it's incredibly difficult for women to become high-level athletes in Iran. There's also the added pressure of competing against a close friend. It must have been a very difficult situation for her, as she had to choose between winning and potentially hurting her friend's feelings. I'm not sure what I would do in that situation, but I think she made the right decision and won the competition. This wasn't her first time facing this kind of pressure. She had competed against her friend before and lost, but this time she emerged victorious. I believe she was the right person to receive the medal because of all the obstacles she overcame. I remember her talking about a time when she was trying to register for a competition. She was told that she couldn't participate because she was a woman. Despite this, she persevered and ultimately achieved her dream of competing on the world stage. Her dedication and resilience are truly inspiring, and I believe she deserves all the recognition she has received.
