TEHRAN – Iranian artistic gymnast Mahdi Olfati secured a berth at the 2024 Olympic Games.

Olfati will be the first Iranian gymnast to compete at the Games in 60 years.

Though the gymnast failed to compete in the Doha final, Olfati had done enough at the first three World Cups to remain as the two atop the men’s Vault leaderboard, guaranteeing him a trip to the Games.

The 2024 Summer Olympics will bring a total of 318 gymnasts (192 in artistic, 94 in rhythmic and 32 in trampoline) together.

The 2024 Olympics will be held from July 26 to Aug. 11 in Paris.
