COURSE DESIGNER

I train almost every day in the winter, mostly at Dizin resort. Now we built a kicker here by ourselves because we don't have the opportunity to jump on anything else. I didn't know how to represent Iran because they didn't build the cross [snowboard cross course] for me. I'm planning to design a cross [course] so I can train on it and get a better chance at the [2022] Paralympic Games." (paralympic.org, 10 Mar 2021)
