For the first time in history, an Iranian woman has captured the Olympic spirit through her lens. Sara Abdollahi, a photographer for Borna News Agency, is making waves in Paris as she covers the 2024 Games.
The 2024 Paris Olympics have been marked by both excitement and controversy, including a power outage during the opening ceremony. Amidst this backdrop, Iran has achieved a significant milestone in its media coverage of the Games.
Sara Abdollahi, a skilled photographer from Borna News Agency, has become the first Iranian woman to cover the Olympics. Her presence in Paris represents a historic moment for Iranian sports journalism.
Abdollahi, with a strong background in photography and experience covering sports events in Iran, secured this opportunity through dedication and perseverance. Supported by Keyumars Hashemi and Mahmoud Khosravi, she has joined a group of Iranian journalists covering the Olympics.
While Iranian female photographers have previously participated in international sporting events, such as World Cups, Abdollahi’s achievement of being the first at the Olympics is a notable accomplishment.
