TO GO WITH AFP STORY OLY-2004-IRI-SHOOTING-WOMEN: Iranian shooter Nassim Hassanpour aims during training at Tehran’ Azadi Stadium 27 July 2004. The only woman athlete Iran is sending to the Athens Olympics, as part of a 39-member team, is under no illusions of winning a medal in her sport of shooting. In fact, she admits the sport is not her real passion. „If the dress code was not an issue, I would have preferred to stick with gymnastics. I’ve been doing that since the age of three,” the petite 19-year-old from Tabriz, northwestern Iran, told AFP. Instead she chose shooting — the air pistol on a 10 meter range.
