These days have been deeply painful for us, especially with the tragic situation in Iran and the loved ones we have lost. Their memories remain with us always.

At the same time, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to UWW and IIS for giving me this special opportunity to be present among the best coaches and athletes.

My sincere gratitude goes to Mr. Tavakolian, who has continually supported me—first as an athlete and now as an official. Your trust and encouragement mean a great deal.

It was also a great honor to spend time with my good friend Arash Yoshida. We fondly remember and deeply miss his father.

I was proud to stand there quietly, ready to help and take responsibility whenever needed, because true teamwork speaks louder than words.

The way Hong Kong is valued and appreciated through this experience truly touches me
