Kimia Alizadeh files for divorce from Hamed Madanchi in Germany
In January 2020, Alizadeh announced that she was leaving Iran permanently for Europe. Explaining her defection, she stated, “I am one of the millions of oppressed women in Iran who they have been playing with for years.” She does not intend to compete for Iran in the 2020 Summer Olympics, and expressed desire to compete for her current place of residence, Germany. Having been licensed to compete in the Tokyo Olympics, she was finally represented by the Refugee Olympic Team.
