Iran Press/Europe: Fallen in the first group of the primary matches, Fateme Mojallal competed with rivals from Uganda, South Africa, Spain, Australia, and Nicaragua.
She managed to set a record of 08:01:30 and stood after rowers from Australia, Spain, and South Africa, respectively.
Fatema Mojallal failed to ascend to the quarter-finals, yet she can have another chance.
Fatemeh Mojallal is the rising star of Iranian rowing. She has earned a place in the women's single sculls event and will have big shoes to fill in the absence of Nazanin Malaei, who achieved Iran's best-ever rowing result at the Tokyo Olympics by reaching the B Final.
Mojallal will also have the honor of carrying Iran flag at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympics. This is a significant moment for Iranian rowing, as it will be the first time that a rower has been given this honor since Homa Hosseini at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
The 33rd round of the Olympic Games, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, kicked off on July 26 and will continue until August 11.
