Hassan Taftian (Persian: حسن تفتیان; born 4 May 1993 in Torbat-e Heydarieh) is an Iranian sprinter. He is an olympic sprinter that represented Iran at Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, and Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.[2] He represented his country at four outdoor and three indoor World Championships.[3]
Taftian won the gold medal in 100 metres at the 2012 Asian Junior Athletics Championships in Colombo, Sri Lanka.[4] On 8 July 2017 Taftian became the first Iranian to ever win the gold medal in 100 metres in an Asian Athletics Championships after finishing with a time of 10.25 seconds at the 2017 Asian Athletics Championships in Bhubaneswar, India.[5]
At the 5th Islamic Solidarity Games at Konya, Turkey, Taftian ran a time of 9.88 seconds, but his run was wind-assisted (5.1 m/s), and thus cannot be ratified as new National Record.[6]
