TEHRAN – Iranian sprinter Hassan Taftian met president of International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach in the Olympic Village.

Taftian, who is going to make splash in the 2024 Olympic Games, took a photo with Bach.

He has previously represented Iran at the 2016 and 2020 Olympics, but has yet to win any silverware. In Paris, Taftian is determined to do his best despite knowing there is a difficult task ahead of him.

The men's 100 meters at the 2024 Summer Olympics is scheduled to be held in four rounds at the Stade de France in Paris, France, on Aug. 3 and 4. This will be the 30th time that the men's 100 meters is contested at the Summer Olympics.
