According to report, this is Garrah Tnaiash’s second medal during his participation in the Paralympic Games after he won the gold medal in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
Garrah Tnaiash, 30, is a short-statured athlete. He was born in Nasiriyah, Al-Batha district, and trains under the supervision of coach Mazen Hussein, said the reports.
He was training in a modest place, as the support he was receiving was not enough to enter preparatory camps at a high level, but despite that he was able to overcome the circumstances and raise the prestige of his country.
