Nasim Hassanpour (Persian: نسیم حسن پور; born 25 August 1984 in Tabriz, East Azerbaijan) is an Iranian sport shooter.[2] She has been selected to compete for Iran at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and has won a bronze under junior division in air pistol shooting at the Asian Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on that same year.[1] Hassanpour also trains under her personal coach Javad Kuhpayezadeh for the national team, while shooting at Azadi Stadium's pistol range in Tehran.[1][3]
Hassanpour qualified as the only female shooter for the Iranian squad in the 10 m air pistol at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[3] She had been granted an Olympic invitation for her country by ISSF, having registered a minimum qualifying score of 375 from her third-place finish at the Asian Championships few months earlier.[1][4][5] Hassanpour fired a steady 376 out of a possible 400 to force in a two-way tie with Australia's two-time Olympian Linda Ryan for twenty-eighth place in the qualifying round, failing to advance to the final.[6]
