K. Nader jan,

Thank you for all the hard work to make us aware of our Olympians. I can't wait for tomorrow's busy day. Insh'Allah, we'll have more medals to celebrate!

[Khashayar]

So who out of these athletes are our realistic options for getting medals?

[soniq]

Medals chances?

Khahesh mikonam.

LOL - I love how we're arguing in the Ansarifard thread but are so relaxed here.

As for answering Soniq's question, don't expect anything in the Canoe Sprint. In Taekwondo, Karami has a great chance of winning Gold if he can overcome Lopez or the Italian fellow who won Silver in Beijing. Hajipour will probably win 1-2 rounds but I doubt she'll be a contender for a medal (I really hope I'm wrong here). I can't comment on wrestling though - Shogun Rua would be the man to ask about our wrestlers' chances.

Medals chances?

Yousef Karami 95% chances to win Gold or Silver Medal tomorrow

Hassan Rahimi 70% chances to win medal tomorrow

Sadegh Goudarzi 80% chances to win medal tomorrow

[Sharkie]

Karami, Rahimi, and Goudarzi are favorite for a medal tomorrow. I'm sure Hajipour and Hakimi will do their best to surprise us all too.

20min till hajipours first fight !!

[Lorestani]

Hajipour starts now! IRIB 3 not showing it.

[Lorestani]

Crowd chanting "Iran, Iran".

[Lorestani]

Yes, three points for Sousan!
Sousan is leading 3-2 after the first round. Let's see if she can further her lead.

[metto]

she 's leading 3:2 after the first period

[Lorestani]

The three points for the Australian should not count.
The judge accepts Iran's challenge. Still 3-2 after 2nd round.

[metto]

still 3:2 after second

[P.Nima]

Hajipourgoli is the better fighter, even the Swedish commentator said so.
BTW is Irans coach from an asian country or does she just have very mongolian genes?
