Asian Roller Skating Championships:
Iran beats China in women’s inline hockey event
Iranian women’s inline hockey team defeated China 2-1 in its second outing at the Asian Roller Skating Championships in Jecheon, South Korea, on Friday.
Hadiseh Pourhashemi scored twice as Iranian girls celebrated a second win in a row at the multi-sport event, having beaten India 6-1 in their opener.
Next for Iran at the inline hockey contests is a game against the host today.
Iran has already bagged two medals through Taraneh Ahmadi and Reza Lesani in the 20th edition of the competition.
A silver winner at the Asian Games in 2023, Ahmadi settled for a runner-up finish in the women’s inline freestyle speed slalom event, while Lesani – a gold medalist at the Hero Battle Cup in Milan earlier in the month – took the bronze in the men’s contests.
