Masoud (Mehdi) Zat Parvar was a 39-year-old world champion bodybuilder from Rasht with a distinguished career in international athletics. Born in August 1986, he was the son of Majid Zatparvar, a veteran of the sport. Masoud achieved significant success on the global stage, earning the title of Asian Youth Champion in 2011 and winning back-to-back world championships in 2012 and 2013. On January 8, 2026, Masoud was killed by direct gunfire from security forces during protests in Tehran. Known for his strength and dedication to his craft, his death at the age of 39 resonated deeply within the athletic community and among those participating in the nationwide movement, where he was honored as a "son of Iran." Following his death, his family navigated significant hurdles to have his body returned to his hometown. He was eventually laid to rest in the "Nam-Avaran" (Champions) section of the cemetery in Rasht. Memorial ceremonies, including his 40th-day service, saw his grave decorated with flowers and tributes, while his father has publicly mourned him as a fallen hero of the nation.

مسعود (مهدی) ذات‌پرور، قهرمان ۳۹ ساله و صاحب‌نام بدنسازی جهان، اهل رشت بود. او که متولد مرداد ۱۳۶۵ و فرزند مجید ذات‌پرور از پیشکسوتان این رشته ورزشی بود، کارنامه‌ای درخشان در سطح بین‌المللی داشت؛ از جمله کسب عنوان قهرمانی جوانان آسیا در سال ۲۰۱۱ و دو مقام قهرمانی جهان در سال‌های ۲۰۱۲ و ۲۰۱۳. در تاریخ ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴، مسعود ذات‌پرور در جریان اعتراضات در تهران با شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی جان باخت. این ورزشکار برجسته که در میان مردم به عنوان «جهان‌پهلوان» و «فرزند ایران» شناخته می‌شد، در میانه جنبش سراسری هدف گلوله قرار گرفت و جان خود را از دست داد. پیکر او پس از پیگیری‌های خانواده به زادگاهش رشت منتقل و در قطعه «نام‌آوران» آرامستان این شهر به خاک سپرده شد. در مراسم‌های مختلف یادبود، از جمله چهلمین روز درگذشت و لحظات تحویل سال، خانواده و نزدیکان او بر سر مزارش حاضر شده و یاد او را به عنوان قهرمانی که جانش را فدای میهن کرد، گرامی داشتند. ویدیوهای منتشر شده از سخنان پدر او بر مزار پسرش، بازتاب گسترده‌ای در فضای مجازی داشته است.
