Notes

  • In 2017, an Iranian taekwondo athlete tested positive for doping, and the number of medals had to be reduced to 97.
  • In 2021, the game site's sources mistakenly recorded one more cycling medal for Iran. In the Para-table tennis competition, two bronze medals were recorded for Iran. Given the small number of participants and unclear information, it seems that two Iranian representatives came fourth and a joint bronze medal was not distributed. However, there is no accurate information. Most likely, the number of 130 medals for Iran is more correct.
