Athletes Overcome Challenges to Win Medals at Asian Games
At the Asian Games, Iranian rower Kimia Zarei trained under challenging conditions amid bombing raids, using ergometers at home due to disrupted team preparations caused by conflict. She and teammate Zeinab Norouzi won gold in the women's lightweight double sculls. Meanwhile, Indian runner Seema won bronze in the women's 10,000m race in Japan, keeping her participation secret from her elderly mother to avoid causing her stress. Both athletes adapted their training and strategies to overcome personal and external challenges during the Games.
