Zare made his dedication in presence of a number of national as well as provincial sports and cultural officials at Imam Reza shrine’s Center for Exhibitions and Conferences in Mashhad.

Saying that he has offered all his medals to Imam Reza shrine’s museums since beginning of his professional activities, he stated: “Before the World and Asian Games, I vowed to dedicate my medals to this center if they were gold; I had the opportunity to realize my vow today by attending here and offer my medals to the Central Museum of Imam Reza holy shrine”.

Iranian medalist added: “I’ve had love and affection toward Imam Reza (AS) in my heart since my childhood. Imam Reza’s (AS) attention has always accompanied me during my daily life. I made this win-win transaction with him and I hope not to lose his support in future”.

Zare concluded: “I always ask Imam Reza (AS) before my competitions and I hope all other Iranian athletes particularly the next generation do the same and create a heart connection with Imam Reza (AS)”.
