General Interest

General
LACK OF BULLETS
Sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran mean that she often has to train without ammunition. As a replacement, she has used an electronic training system. "It has been a problem since I joined the national team. As an athlete, I only pull the trigger and cannot interfere in the issue, but I know that we do not produce bullets in the country and we cannot import them easily due to the [international] sanctions. But to make up for this, we go more often to overseas camps." (pana.ir, 15 Apr 2020)

OTHER ACTIVITIES
She has served on the student committee and the committee for gender equality at the International University Sports Federation [FISU]. (presstv.com, 03 Apr 2016)
