          Watching Kiani's fight and Nematzadeh yesterday /Alizadeh when she won her medal, I get the impression whoever is taller has a major advantage in Taekwondo is that true?

            yes. Longer reach theoretically.

            Kiani has done really well to get this far.

                    Kiani's husband and son seem to be in the stands to support her. Dameshoon garm.

                        Kiani's coach so far has been excellent. Making all the right challenges.

                              Nahid Kiani to the Finals. This will be the highest ranked medal achieved by an Iranian athlete in Olympic history. Congratulations shirzan. She will fight tomorrow. As a consolation, Alizadeh is probably pulled into the repechage stage for a possible bronze medal.

                                She goes to the final. Really no doubt about it. Beat her Lebanese opponent handily.

                                The sensors sucked. Without Kiani's coach making challenges. many points would have been missed.

                                Guaranteed medal. She will now be the highest finishing Iranian female Olympic athlete ever.
