Iranian aiming high after surprise bronze

GUANGZHOU - Iran's Seyedehazam Rezaei decided to stay in Guangzhou for two more days to enjoy the food and visit some scenic spots after winning a bronze medal in the women's R2-SH110m air rifle event on Monday at the Aoti Shooting Range.

"I know Guangzhou has a lot of delicious food and I will try to stay for a couple more days to enjoy it. Also, my coach, friends and I will visit some of the special places in this beautiful city," said Rezaei.

"I am so happy as I did not expect to win a medal. After the qualification round, I was in fourth place. My performance in the final was the very best I could do."
