Iranian Taekwondo star Mobina Nematzadeh won a bronze medal in the women's flyweight division at the Olympics 2024 on Wednesday.

Nematzadeh, 19, beat Saudi Arabia’s taekwondo athlete 2-0 in the bronze-medal match.

She had defeated Michelle TauIn 2-0 from Lesotho in round of 16 and Adriana Cerezo Iglesias of Spain, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics silver medalist and 2023 world bronze medalist, 2-0 in quarterfinals but lost to China’s Guo Qing in the semifinals.
