Iran defector loses to old friend and former taekwondo teammate at Paris Olympics
Associated PressOne wore a veil, the other fought with her head bare. Nahid Kiyani Chandeh and Kimia Alizadeh were once friends and roommates as part of the junior Iran taekwondo team. They clashed Thursday at the Paris Olympics in the 57-kilogram division, and Alizadeh, who defected from Iran, lost her bid to win a gold medal for her new country, Bulgaria. The round-of-16 fight Thursday between the rivals — who used to be roommates at Iran’s national training center during their youth year — was revenge for Kiyani Chandeh, who lost to Alizadeh in Tokyo. Asked whether the bout was politically charged, the president of the Iranian taekwondo federation said it was just a “very hard match.” “This is a sport, it’s not politics,” Hadi Saei said.
