Thank you Abdevali!


Abdevali

[Camran khan]

We all know that Abdevali was way better than the rest of those wrestlers, no doubt about it!

[persian-eagle-13]

poor guy, he got shafted. he looks and sounds depressed. hopefully he can use this as a motivation and comeback stronger in 4 years.

[Sharkie]

I just broke a tear hearing Abdevali speak. He's very sad of what happened and I can understand that. He apologizes to his people and wanted to make them happy. He is the people's champion. That's more important!

[babak_iran]

^ i teared as well i feel so bad for him

[dokhtar92irooni]

bemiram barash thank you for your efforts it's just unfortunate something like this had to happen to you

[MoJo23]

[Siavash]

Thanks for posting the video Siavash jan, my heart breaks. Maybe we should start a PFDC fund form Abdevali to keep him motivated til the next OS. He was horribly robbed!

[Babak agha]

I know it's the depression talking, but Abdevali didn't gave me the impression that he's going to do everything to get the gold in Rio.

[K. Nader]

I know it's the depression talking, but Abdevali didn't gave me the impression that he's going to do everything to get the gold in Rio.

The good thing is that there are four years between now and the 2016 Olympics. The problem with Iranian athletes (in most sports) is that we become real downers once we lose or fall behind/are under pressure. Just look at the way TM plays when the go up quickly as opposed to when they're still tied in the 60th minute. I think the role of psychologists are really undermined in Iranian sports.
