Kimia Alizadeh is the only Olympic athlete in Iran. She isn't in Iran any more. She has bailed out.
The 21-year old woman won a bronze in Taekwondo in 2016 in Brazil. She is leaving the country because of the oppressive state of the government. It is unclear where she has defected to but some sources are saying the Netherlands.
She stated she "didn't want to sit at the tale of hypocrisy, lies, injustice and flattery..." any further.
It truly is shame what the country has turned into. Persia was at once time a place of learning, commerce and tolerance. Farsi was for hundreds of years the mostly widely spoken language on a geographical basis in the world. It is now a third-world shithole run by ignorant psychopaths who fight among themselves, kill their neighbors whenever possible, and suppress anything that even resembles actual thought.

I hope she brought warm clothes and a security detail. Those folks might be mad and seek some sort of perverted Iranian justice.
