Iran’s second representatives Mahlegha Jambozorg stood in no better place than 27th with 574 points. Iran’s shooting squad has participated in Rio Olympics with 5 shooters which also included Elaheh Ahmadi, famously given the epithet of the ‘only mother of Iran’s delegation.’ She is the most successful of all Iran’s shooters, since in London Olympics 2012, she had stood in 6th place in final round.
