TEHRAN \u2013 Iran\u2019s sitting volleyball powerhouse server Meisam Alipour has set his sight on competing in the 2032 Paralympic Games.<\/p>\n
Alipour was selected as MVP in the Paris Games, helping Team Melli win their eighth gold medal in the Paralympics.<\/p>\n
Alipour\u2019s explosive serving and versatile play were crucial throughout the tournament, particularly in the gold medal match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, where his commanding serves tipped the balance in Iran\u2019s favor. In total, Alipour delivered 21 aces in the competition, maintaining his reputation as one of the sport\u2019s most feared servers.<\/p>\n
Beyond his serving, Alipour\u2019s leadership on and off the court propelled Iran to their third straight gold, following triumphs in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. The 30-year-old was also the top scorer in key moments, guiding his team through a perfect tournament run.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have won three gold medals with the national team and I want to add two more golds to my accolades. I hope to remain in my best form for the upcoming Paralympics,\u201d Alipour said in his interview with Tehran Times.<\/p>\n
\u201cI started my playing career in Iran in the 2010 Asian Para Games and competed in three more Asian Para Games. I hope to be part of the team in 2028 Los Angeles and 2032 Brisbane,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a difficult task in Paris because the Iranian people just want gold and expectations are high. Bosnia and Herzegovina and the other teams have improved during the recent years and this is not an easy task to win the gold but we succeeded to claim the gold once again,\u201d Alipour said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will do my best to be part of Iran\u2019s sitting volleyball in next two Paralympics. We have so many young and talented players in our team and it means I have to be in my best form if I want to convince the coaching staff playing me,\u201d Alipour concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
