Atieh Sadat Hosseini, an Iranian female para powerlifter, has been crowned world champion, marking a historic achievement for Iran.

On the second day of the 11th World Junior Para Powerlifting Championships, Hosseini competed in the 61 kg weight category.

She successfully lifted 85 kg and 90 kg in her first and second attempts.

Although she was unable to lift 94 kg in her third attempt, her earlier performance secured her the gold medal and the world title—making her the first Iranian woman ever to win a gold medal in para powerlifting.
