Volleyball players fight for gold at the Paralympic Games in Paris

(Patria) - For the sixth time in history, the Bosnia and Herzegovina national sitting volleyball team will play in the Olympic final.

In Athens 2004 and London eight years later, BiH stood atop the podium. Three times it was stopped at the final hurdle.

Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iran will play for the Olympic title in sitting volleyball tonight at 7:30 PM. A live TV broadcast of the match from Paris is also secured, on the BHT channel.

The biggest threat to our national team will be Iranian Morteza Mehrzadselakjani, the second tallest man in the world, due to whom Iran most often wins medals.

He is 2.46 meters tall, and he learned about his disability when he was diagnosed as a teenager with acromegaly, a hormonal disorder that causes accelerated growth of the extremities and face.

Our national team defeated Germany yesterday in the semifinals of the Paralympic Games in Paris.

Our national team won the first set 25:23, the second set was 25:6, and the third decisive set also went to BiH with a score of 31:29.
