Iran @ The 2012 Summer Olympics: Day 7 [August 3]

[K. Nader]

If I recall, Moradi was dealing with some minor issues before his event - weightlifting with even the most minor of injuries can be extremely dangerous.

Another one bites the dust...France, Romania and Iran...DNFs!

Please dont be harsh on him. He will be back. Im just sad he didnt even attempt a full lift.

The good news is that the weights are low. 175kg will win it I think by the looks of things.

Be hard on who? Kianoush has not even lifted yet.

[Spyder]

Markov is up. Best lift so far! 168kg...a longgggggg way to go for these lifters....1st round only.

[K. Nader]

Guys, please stop being so pessimistic and disappointed - our athletes are trying their best and winning medals is not the true spirit of the Olympics. Just enjoy the events for what they're worth.

when is kianoush up??

[Spyder]

Be hard on who? Kianoush has not even lifted yet.

Sorry I thought you ment Moradi...geez Im now feeling the pressure

Damn that Russian is a beast! 19 yrs old! 169kg easyyyyyyy....

[Camran khan]

Russian dude just lifted 169kg.. The only gold we can be 100% sure of is Behdad Salimi

[hzv]

wow this gut is a beast

[Spyder]

The Russian and Polish lifters have been very good. Now...here comes Rostami....171kg...wearing something that well...is total visual pollution...maybe its a tactic!

[footballeirani]

Guys 169 is not much. The Chinese and other guy will lift 180.
