Saghar Moradi, a 19-year-old girl from Tabriz, became the first Iranian woman in the history of the Asian Games to win a gold medal in women's taekwondo. In the final of the 67 kg weight category, she succeeded in defeating "Ozoda Sobirjonova" from Uzbekistan, etching her name in the history of sports in Iran and Asia. This success reflects Saghar's determination and will to make history in women's sports in Iran.

Sardar Azmoun's Special Reward
Following these successes, Sardar Azmoun, the star of the national football team, made an interesting decision. He announced that he would award one billion tomans as a reward to Saghar and Fatemeh. This reward is personal and outside the promises of the Taekwondo Federation and the Ministry of Sports. With this action, Sardar Azmoun demonstrated his support and appreciation for the achievements of these two champion girls and provided them with greater motivation to continue their path of bringing honor.
This reward comes at a time when the financial situation of taekwondo athletes in Iran is not very favorable, and they are engaged in this sport with low earnings. Therefore, this action by Sardar Azmoun can be seen as a turning point in supporting female athletes in Iran and reflects solidarity and attention to their successes.
Ultimately, these two girls have managed to raise the name of Iran on international platforms through their effort and will, and this reward illustrates the love and respect of society for female athletes. These achievements will not only inspire Saghar and Fatemeh but also serve as a symbol of strength and determination for all Iranian women in the face of challenges and obstacles.
