Before and during the Games, there were calls to ban Iran from the 2024 Summer Olympics due to human rights abuse allegations following the executions of Iranian wrestler Navid Afkari and national karate champion Mohammad Mehdi Karami, crackdown on protesters and athletes during the Mahsa Amini protests, blinding of archer Kowsar Khoshnoudi-Kia, and defection of taekwondo medalist Kimia Alizadeh. [1]

During the Games, 41 competitors across 14 sports competed for Iran at the 2024 Summer Olympics. [2] The Iranian roster featured a number of past Olympians and Olympic medalists, including taekwondo fighter Nahid Kiani, who became the first Iranian woman to win a silver medal at the Olympics and thereby surpassing Kimia Alizadeh's 2016 bronze feat, and freestyle wrestler Hassan Yazdani, who won his third Olympic medal with a silver medal. A total of 12 medals were won for Iran at these Games, 3 of which were gold, placing Iran at 21st on the medal table for these Games.

On the Refugee Olympic Team at the 2024 Summer Olympics, 14 of the 37 athletes were Iranian. [3] Elsewhere, some Iranians, such as Kimia Alizadeh, competed for other nations (see Other Iranians). [4]

Calls for ban on participation

There had been calls to ban Iran from the 2024 Summer Olympics due to human rights abuse allegations following the executions of Iranian wrestler Navid Afkari and national karate champion Mohammad Mehdi Karami, crackdown on protesters and athletes during the Mahsa Amini protests, blinding of archer Kowsar Khoshnoudi-Kia, and defection of taekwondo medalist Kimia Alizadeh. [1] [5] A group of Iranian dissidents including Franco-Iranian boxer Mahyar Monshipour and Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi sent a letter to the IOC calling for Iran to be banned; they opined that the country's prohibition of women from practicing sports like wrestling, boxing, swimming, and sailing was not in line with the Olympic Charter. [6] American senator Marsha Blackburn petitioned IOC President Thomas Bach to ban Iran from the Paris Games. [7] The IOC expressed serious concerns over the situation of the Iranian athletes and urged the Iranian Olympic Committee to take appropriate action with the highest authorities to protect the athletes and members of the Olympic community from a humanitarian perspective. The IOC said that it reserves the right to take any appropriate action relating to the participation of the Iranian NOC and athletes in regards to the 2024 Summer Olympics. [8] [9]

In a rematch of their bout from the 2020 Summer Olympics where Alizadeh was the victor, Kiani narrowly defeated Alizadeh in the 2024 bout. Alizadeh eventually won bronze and Kiani won the silver medal, the latter being the first for an Iranian woman at the Olympics, surpassing Alizadeh's 2016 bronze feat. While Kiani competed for the Iranian team, Alizadeh competed for the Bulgarian team after having represented the Refugee Olympic Team at the 2020 Summer Olympics, and Iran at the 2016 Summer Olympics where she became the first Iranian female medalist at the Olympics. Alizadeh became Bulgaria's first-ever taekwondo competitor at the Olympics, and won Bulgaria's first medal in Olympic taekwondo. Prior to Alizadeh's defection, the two were friends and training partners.
