Iranian shooter Rostamian shatters national record
Iranian shooter Hanieh Rostamian set a new national record in the women’s 25m pistol category on Tuesday.
The milestone came during the Iranian trials for the 55th CISM World Military Shooting Championship – starting June 23 in Elverum, Norway.
A three-time world bronze winner, Rostamian registered 590 points in Tuesday’s event to better the previous record, possessed by herself, by two points.
The 26-year-old Iranian girl – also a World Cup air pistol gold medalist in 2022 – stood third in the qualification round to make it to the final showdown in last year’s Paris Olympics, but eventually settled for a sixth-place finish.
