in the 2017 World Archery Para Championships.
More than 150 archers from around the world are taking part in the Championships
in Beijing, China, the first major competition since the Rio 2016 Paralympic
Games.
Rahimi is the top ranked archer in the men’s recurve open event and reigning
Paralympic gold medalist is revered for his talent and poise. He finished third
at the 2015 edition in Donaueschingen, Germany, Paralympic.org wrote.
Also, having focused on able-bodied competitions, Nemati returns to the World
Archery Para Championships scene, which lead to a rematch with Wu. The Iranian
two-time Paralympic champion and Olympian is perhaps the most popular archer in
the world.
The 2017 World Archery Para Championships will be conducted in Beijing,
China from the 12th September to 17th September.
