He took off his medal before the national anthem and did not even put it back on for the photos. He then left the ceremony early while the other three posed for photos.

If someone can post the links to Farsi highlights of these matches I would greatly appreciate it

Man, Mobina's medal was definitely unexpected for me. I didn't even manage to follow the Taekwondo stream today and when I saw someone putting the story on insta thought he was kidding. Great job girl. First time ever that we have won 5 medals in one Olympics not counting freestyle+weightlifting, and it could still increase.

Mashallah Mobina!!!!!!


Bronze for Iran in Womens Taekwondo!

I am close to tears watching how happy they are to have this achievement 😭 and what it means for women in Iran.

May our country improve so our men and women achieve at the highest level more often

In addition to Mobina's acrobatic scorpian headshot (watch it on replay if you didn't see it!), I loved two things about the match:

1) she brought her coach up to the mat to celebrate and give her credit after the win
2) the US NBC announcer heard her coach's comments from the sideline during the match and said "She said KHOOBEH, which means good"!!! I was shocked! I love it.

Wait so Kiani and Alizadeh faced each other first roujd in Tokyo as well? Just our luck. Kiani is rank 2 Alizadeh is 15. Hopefully kiani wins this time

I think we'll beat 2016 and 2020 medal counts. Iran's best medal count was 13 medals in the 2012 London Olympics followed by 8 and 7 in 2016 and 2020.

BEAUTIFUL WIN FOR NAHID! SHIRZAN

[PrinceAli]

Wow Nahid Kiani with an INSANE comeback to beat Kimia

she was down 7-3 with 10 seconds. Got a technical point and a head kick to tie. Then won by superiority on overall hits

[Team Melli Fan]

What a battle between Alizadeh and Kiani!

Great performance from them both!

[Nokhodi]

Reza Alipour unfortunately lost in speed climbing in the semi finals and finished 4th.
He lost by 0.14 seconds. Poor guy.

[_Navid_]

I'm so so gutted for Alipour. The competition level today was just exceptional. Any other day he would have medalled with 4.80 seconds.

Kiani up soon in QF

Our Kiani is fucking brave!!!
