Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Iran (officially called the Islamic Republic of Iran) competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. Since the nation's return in 1948 after having made their debut in 1900, Iranian athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games except for Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984, citing political reasons. This was the nation's 19th appearance at the Summer Olympics.
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]
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]
