No medal so far, Roudaki out injured...
What else can you expect from a country where sports, like everything else, are in a catastrophic state.
This is true.
We rely on exceptional individual talent in every sport as our athletes don't receive the support they should.
But what do you expect if the olympic team is run by the crook Aliabadi

In Olympics you can find a gazillion sports to be good at. How difficult is it to get 100 poor athletic kids, stick em in a school made especially for them and train them to become good at one of these lame sports like ping pong? This is exactly what China does. They get a poor kid from the provinces, pay their parents, guarantee the kid's education and put a roof over his head and train him day and night. The worst thing that can happen is that the kid isn't going to make it and you spent money educating him.
I'm making too much sense though. This is IR we're talking about. A theocracy based on Islam lmao

32 yrs and accounting. Hopefully in another million yrs, our people will gather their balls off the floor.

Originally posted by Amin_ View PostI understand your frustration KA jaan, but in which sport had you expected Iran to get a medal so far? Table tennis?! Cycling?! Rowing?! Swimming?! So far the only little chance we had was Mazaheri, but we saw what happened to him yesterday because of that fcking German referee.

I'm not going to pretend that I'm an expert on sports other than football.
Well, I'm not a football expert either , but I know more about it than rowing for instance.
Indeed, as you said, our events haven't started yet.
Unfortunatley, our events doesn't mean we're a world power in them (like Romania is in Gymnastics, for instance), but the term is used to describe the fact that we actually have a chance, unlike in rowing where our only challenge is to participate.
And, in any case, our events are far, far too few for a country with the population and resources of Iran.
I wish the best for our athlets and I'm not angry with them.
They are doing what they can with the resources provided for them.
What saddens me is yet another proof that Iran is in a catastrohpical state and our sports is just another reflection of that.

Originally posted by metto View Postfirst of all u cant compare china with iran. china has 5-10 year plans. about 10 years ago the started to invest their money in sports to show the world that a "communist state" can reach everything, and now they are among the best sportcountrys of the world. there are some documentations about china how the work with children at the age of 8. and i dont really want persian kids be treaten like that, actually i dont wan anybody to be treaten that bad. And ping pong is for china like weightlifting for iran, so this is not really a good example.
but neverless i totally agree that there is much more talent in our country which is not supported at all...

lmao
so it's either chinese dungeons/boot camps or abso****inglutely nothing?????
Nobody is saying we should beat our 8 year olds. We can however get 100 orphans/poor kids from some shahrestan, put a roof over their heads and guarantee their education and in exchange, train them in some random sport.
You guys are so picky.
baba, it's Iran we're talking about. We're barely breaking out of the third world category and you guys are acting like we're Norway. If you want medals, that's the only way. In the West, every parent registers their kid in different sports clubs and buys them everything they need, something our people obviously can't do. Arabs buy athletes. The Chinese beat their kids into getting good at a sport, literally. We need to find our own way to solve this issue.
