Kimia Alizadeh, who was scheduled to serve as the flagship of the Iranian caravan in 2018 Asian Games and was one of the chances of the Iranian gold medal in Taekwondo, was ruptured her left knee cruciate ligament abruptly in her practice.

The girl of Iran’s Taekwondo history maker, who was named after her bronze medal in 2016 Olympic Games in the Iran’s history sport book, has written some sentences after this injury on her own personal page.

"I remember four years ago when I took part in Asian games and I did not let to play just 2 days before the match because I was young. I cried out that day that I never forget. I remembered that I promising myself to be patience, and practice so much for 4 years later.
Now, 4 years have passed and just a week before dispatch to the games the unbelievable injury happened to me that still is very difficult to believe for me.
But I have to keep patience; I still respect my God’s wisdom. I know all the patience of these days is a beautiful gift from God.
For the Iranian caravan in the first Asian games, I wish you good health and then wish you success."

While everyone was waiting for Kimia Alizadeh as Iran's first female flag bearer in Asian games in the opening ceremony in Jakarta, her serious injury will make her dream come to end.

Soltanifar, Iranian sport minister said one of the female athletes would definitely be the flag bearer of Iran in Asian Games.

Director of public relations at the Ministry of Sports said in an Instagram post: "Kimia Alizadeh's flag bearer will be preserved with her injury in Asian Games, or a hero mother will be in charge of it. »

It seems that, while walking is so difficult for Kimia and a long trip to Indonesia can add to her pain, another woman, who is maybe Elaheh Ahmadi, the champion of shooting, will be announced as an IRAN flag bearer in coming Asian Games in near future in Jakarta, Indonesia.
