Two months after carrying the Olympic flame, I returned to South Korea—this time as a two-time Olympian.
In December 2017, while carrying the Olympic flame, I made one wish: to return to Korea as an Olympic athlete. Two months later, that wish became reality at PyeongChang 2018.
I became the first Iranian female alpine skier to compete in two Winter Olympic Games, recording the best Olympic performance by an Iranian female skier at the time—finishing approximately 11 seconds behind the Olympic champion and setting a new milestone for Iranian women's skiing.
