[dokhtar92irooni]

[Kiarash]

Iran chikaresh mikooneh???????

[Shogun_Rua]

semis already finish

bronze starts 5:45 for 55 kg (korea vs denmark)

and then bronze for 74 kg (azerbaijan vs lithuania)

i guess 7:03 - both bronze games will finish, and it should start 7:03 P.M

come on HAMEDD

Hussain it doesn't work like that.. the 2 semi final losers don't wrestle eachother.. basically all the wrestlers that lost to the finalists will face each other in the order they got knocked out until the last match which is for bronze.

So it's like this:

Hamid Sourians first two opponents Arsen Eraliev (KGZ) and Peter Modos (HUN) will wrestle and the winner of that will face Haakan Nyblom (DEN) for Bronze

Rovshan Bayramovs first two opponents Mingiyan Semenov (RUS) and Spenser Mango (USA) will wrestle and the winner will face Shujin Li (CHN) and the winner of that will face Gyu-Jin Choi (KOR) for the bronze match.

Bayramov wrestled more matches because Sourian got a bye in the 1st round. So there will be 5 more 55kg matches before the final.

It will be very important if Sourian wins gold. Its a moral booster for our team and more gold medals will certainly follow. This will be Iran's best olympics in wrestling. Just watch!

Damn! that's a long route then..

so even if u are knocked out in the first rounnd by a finalist, you still have a chance of a bronze medal?

[HuSsAiN]

so nervous

Yep exactly ! That's exactly what happened with the Russian Bayramov beat, he lost in the first round and now he has worked his way up to a bronze medal match.

Go Iran!!

[footballeirani]

Not to send any bad vibes but Sourian regardless of what he does is not a champ in my book. Just when the protests in Iran were happening he gifted his medal to Ahmadinejad and later appeared with him to show support. Thats unforgivable as our youth were being jailed and shot at. Nobody forced him to gift his medal to Ahmadinejad but he did...

Obviously I will be happy if he wins. Not for him but Iran.

this is some tokhmi rule! lool, why is it not like football or tennis where semi final losers face other, and have a bronze match?

i need to leave in an hour, and i wanted to watch the final.. now i could miss it coz of bronze this re-pechange thing! and there's 3 mats, and they r only using one of them with one game at a time! taking soo long
