Farzan Ashourzadeh Fallah (Persian: فرزان عاشورزاده فلاح, born November 25, 1996, in Tonekabon, Mazandaran, Iran) is an Iranian taekwondo practitioner. He won the gold medal in the flyweight division (-58 kg) at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea.[1] In 2016 he participated at the 2016 Summer Olympics but surprisingly lost in the 1/08-Finale against Omar Hajjami.[2]

Personal life

On 10 January 2026, Ashourzadeh publicly supported the 2025–2026 Iranian protests by appealing to the international community to oppose the Islamic Republic government's internet cuts, stating: "History has shown that whenever the internet is shut down, severe violence, widespread repression, and deadly crimes against civilians follow."[3] On 17 January, Ashourzadeh, in response to the high death toll from the protests, shared a poem from Fereydoon Moshiri which says: "In the wake of all the blood that dripped on this soil; may this life be our shame, may this bread be our shame, we sat and watched."[4]
