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.

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.Comment

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:Originally posted by perspolis#1 View Post
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.Comment

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.Originally posted by _Navid_ View PostComment

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

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.Comment
