The International Paralympic Committee sends its condolences to the family of Razieh Shirmohammadi and the Iranian Paralympic Committee.
The Para archer died on Tuesday at the age of 42 due to a heart attack.

Born in Mashhad, Iran, Shirmohammadi also represented her country at the Rio 2016 Paralympics.
