Iranian women dominate table tennis at 2025 ISG

The table tennis competitions of the 6th Islamic Solidarity Games closed with Iran earning a total of five medals: two golds, one silver, and two bronzes. This year’s events featured expanded doubles matches and updated regulations, creating a different competitive landscape from previous editions.

Amid these changes, Iran’s women athletes emerged as the dominant force, contributing both the majority and the highest quality of medals. While the men’s team guaranteed Iran’s place on the podium by advancing to the semifinals on Day 3, it was the women who won the country’s first and last medals of the tournament.

The Iranian women’s national team secured the first medal, a shared bronze, after facing Turkey. The final medal of the competition was also delivered by the women, with Neda Shahsavari taking gold in the singles event. Earlier the same day, she and her teammate claimed victory in the doubles final, giving Iran a “golden finish” to its campaign.
