Arjan Bowl Selected as Iran’s Symbol at Tokyo 2020
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Jaam-e Arjan (Arjan bowl) was selected as the symbol of the Iranian delegation at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games.
The Jaam-e Arjan, or Arjan bowl, is from the Elamite era, an ancient civilization that dates from between 3200 and 539 BC and was centered in the west and south-west of what is now Iran.
Iran finished 25th on the medals table at the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics after winning three golds, one silver and four bronzes.
The country's best Games performance was at London 2012 where they took home seven golds, five silvers and a bronze.
The Olympics are scheduled for July 23 to August 8 and will be followed by the Paralympics from August 24 to September 5.
