National Athletes Undergo Rigorous Assessments ahead of 2026 Asian Games

Iran NOC; Tehran: With the 20th Asian Games scheduled to commence in Japan this September, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s sports federations have initiated a robust screening program for the 282-member national delegation. Athletes across diverse disciplines, including Wushu, Gymnastics, and Rowing, are currently completing a wide array of specialized evaluations—ranging from cardiac and orthopedic examinations to psychological and nutritional counseling. These systematic assessments, facilitated by the Sports Medicine Federation, are critical in ensuring that every athlete enter the final stages of their preparation for the continental tournament.

The national Trampoline squad, which secured two silver medals at the Asian Championships in Hong Kong, is intensifying its training regimen with four designated representatives: Yalda Hassan Shoukati, Fatemeh Tavassoli, Aria Mam Abdollah, and Mohammad Saeed Abadi. Under the guidance of their coaching staff, these athletes are integrating a series of domestic and international training camps to maintain peak competitive form. Their preparations are focused on solidifying their technical proficiency, with the team currently operating on a disciplined schedule to ensure they reach their physical zenith before the Games begin.

Simultaneously, the men’s national Rowing team, featuring Ali Aghamirzaei, Peyman Ghavidel, and Mohammad Bani Rezaei, is accelerating its training under the supervision of head coach Sergii Buzokly. Having engaged in continuous preparation across various domestic training centers over the past nine months, the squad is now balancing their focus between the Asian Games and the upcoming World Championships in Poland this August. These athletes continue to refine their physical and mental readiness, underscoring their commitment to achieving a high-ranking performance on the international stage.
