Breaking News: Hossein Rezazadeh quits weightlifting

[Hadi]

He did the right thing.

In this kind of sport, if you know you are not capable of matching you records, you don't compete.

[persian boy]

oh my NOOOOO!!!! this is awful news, Iran could have atleast been dominant in something

[radin119]

he was a true hero so i have decided to honor him in my sig

[Nokhodi]

rumours also suggest that he's in trouble for the commercials he made with robinson estates in Dubai that are constantly shown on the iranian satellite channels, anyways, we all owe him a big thank you, he will always be a hero.

I actually think his accident last year really f***ed him up. He missed too much time out and his hands and legs were all really messed up.
Never the less he will be remembered as one of our great Olympic heroes and will be remembered in the international scene as well.

[BacheLot]

damn , so he wont be at china olympic..!!? sucks..! how are we gonna get any medals now?

[sullakh]

he should go to china but not compete perhaps..

SHEEEEET! he still is a hero...and will forever remain to be. call me selfish but i wish he still went to beijing and then retired!

duh

[ShahHouman]

for some reason i'm thinking this either has a side issue behind it or is a rumor...but if it's true it's very sad indeed and he had a great weightlifting career that we can all be very proud of

So.. does his position get replaced by another Iranian ?

[Ali]

I was watching iran tv 3 sport the other day and it was showing him in training and one was his leg was injured and it showed doctors treating it.

[babak_australia]

So.. does his position get replaced by another Iranian ?

most prob by the next best.

not necessarily from Iran.

Really depressed to hear about this. I can honestly say this was the number 1 thing i was looking forward to in the Olympics.

A true great in sporting history

[Daban]

As much as I'd love him to be in the Olympics, his health is more important to me and every Iranian I'm sure.

[Barzin]

He was involved in a car accident last year so that could be why he cant compete !!!

A TRUE LIVING LEGEND !!!!!

[Milad-69]

What A Shame =(


Wish Him The Best , THough I Find It Quiet Early For Him To Quit =S

[b_tonymontana]

Kheyly bad shod. I really wanted him to kick some ass in beijing and get his third one.

Dar har soorat inshallah ke saro salem basheo va khosho khorram.

[Irannn]

emrooz dar shabake 3 oomado goft ke maraze ghand dare ! agar varzesho edame bede karesh be dializ mikeshe !
