Get to know iron-willed Iran para-snowboarder

Iranian female para-snowboarder with iron will has become elite para-snowboarder in just five years, despite her congenital disability.

Sedigheh Rouzbeh is one of the Iranian athletes securing a place at the Beijing 2022 Paralympics.

“Her long-held dream came true unexpectedly at the age of 36, a few months after giving birth to her second child,” Chinese media wrote about the Iranian athlete.
Encouraged by her husband, Rouzbeh tried skiing for the first time five years after her marriage.

"Although the dream seemed impossible to achieve, I had always cherished it. With enthusiasm and motivation, I started training. Initially, it was very tough as I was not physically fit for any competitions. But I kept training hard and I managed to book a place at the Pyeongchang Paralympics," she was quoted by Chinese media.

Rouzbeh became the first female snowboarder representing Iran to compete at the 2018 Paralympic Winter Games held in Pyeongchang.

In a recent interview, she noted that China has been a great host to the Winter Games with high-quality venues and facilities.
People all have dreams, but only a few have firm determination. Rouzbeh is definitely one of them.
