Rostami: I hope people of Iran accept my bronze medal

they wear majid+adidas+erke!

You say "weight lifter" as if that's all he is or as if that's a negative. A man can be many things. And I was being general. He represents the youth of Iran. The people who had no desire to fight for the Soviet Union in the name of communism or fight in the name of Islam.

He would also be a good representative for the girls cause I find him quite charming

Only us Iranians can turn anything into politic related

Nah, everybody can.

The fact that the regime is still in power shows that we don't do it enough, not nearly enough.

shireh Kermanshah

Anyone who does not accept his medal can go to hell, this is great after Rezazadeh ****ed the whole sport in the ass and set us back for years.

[Keano]

sorry but i'm gonna slap you in the face with reality, we don't want a weightlifter as the ruler of our country, but I agree, the attributes are nice to have. There are only 2 things a leader needs. 1. Intelligence, 2. The Desire to better the country for his people.

KK jaan,

Ronald Reagan one of the most popular US presidents used to be a hollywood actor playing alongside the likes of John Wayne etc. Also Pacquiao is Philippines congresman, who is widely revered in the country by people and recognized and addressed to as a national hero, and said to be running for president in the future. Arnold also became California's governor and ran the office for years.

What did he do that set us back for years?

[Masoud_A]

What did he do that set us back for years?

When he was the team's head coach he and his staff juiced up four of our Weightlifters (without their consent as claimed by them) which got the whole TM suspended, our federation got fined for $500K and our prospects got ****ed most notably Saeed Ali Hosseini who got suspended for 12 years. He was our biggest talent supposedly the next Rezazadeh, he still holds the record for juniors 105+ weight class. Rezazadeh himself got banned for life from coaching but later IR rewarded him for his years of ass kissing by appointing him as the head of IWF. After a while his embezzlement from IWF budget was exposed as well, as he had authorized bonuses for himself and his cronies something that's not even in his powers as the head of IWF.
PS: There was a lot of rumors surrounding Rezazadeh's unexpected drop out of Beijing claiming he was caught doping.

[Adesor Vafaseya]

very very proud of you Kianoush Jaan!
we all love you Shiramardeh Iranzamin!

you are just 21 years old, and already World Champion 2011 and Olympics Bronze 2012.
This is amazing and great! Health comes first, and important thing is you did not injure yourself with the weights that you couldn't lift on that day... instead you brought us our first medal and made us all proud. The nation will be behind you in the next olympics. Keep well, and most important healthy!

SHIRMARDE IRANZAMIN!
