TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iranian archer Zahra Nemati, who carried the country�s flag in the opening ceremony, was eliminated by the Russian Inna Stepanova on Tuesday.

Nemati lost to Stepanova 6-2 in the Olympic Games Round of 64.

Nemati said it felt different from the Paralympics. "The difference is the stress that I had here. The Olympics are more stressful."

Asked what message she would like to send to other people with disabilities around the world, she perked up, "Don�t let disability defeat you.�

"I felt stressed, but I have to say she was better. Now, I will try to repeat my Paralympic title," she said.
