Iran @ The 2012 Summer Olympics: Day 14 [August 10] - Live Updates

[K. Nader]

Karami is probably our second most decorated Taekwondoka after Saei so it's really disappointing to see him perform like this. There are times in sports where you can say that the opponent beat you fair and square but Karami's biggest barrier was himself. Out of the 6 sets he fought, he was only active in 1 while his first match was probably the worst I've seen him in 8 years.

What's more disappointing is that Iran came first in the 2011 TKD World Championship (Men's category). This was the first time another nation had dethroned S. Korea to collect the most Gold medals.

Great sportsmanship here loved it hope these heroes show politicians to find a way to respect each other and leave in harmony and peace.

lesson of the day:
We cant beat black people

LOL what are u talkin about? our athletes have already beat a handful of black people

[Keano]

baba why soo soon to conclusions? This was day 1 freestyle and we got 1 nice Silver.
we have some world champs in our freestyle squad, we have 5 more wrestlers to come. all with serious medal chances!
This Freestyle squad that we have is one of the strongest we ever sent to olympics.... yekkam sabr kon janam and enjoy the silver

Very true amoo jaan, it's not over yet, but what I mainly tried to say was that our Grecko-Roman used to suck in all levels, however now we win the Olympics which is an amazing accomplishment.

disappointing for Karami but he must move forward, matches dont always go your way. Muhammad in my opinion had more stamina. He was also humble..unlike some American wrestler lol jk
anyways congrats to Sadegh Gourdarzi for winning silver!!!

[EKBATAN]

[Adesor Vafaseya]

The Swedish Commentator mentioned about Karami was weak because he's fasting.

what a difference of class between the american sian and the british siah

I was just thinking the exact same thing, except I wasn't gonna mention the skin color.

[oldcoach]

The Swedish Commentator mentioned about Karami was weak because he's fasting.

I wonder if this is really the case.

[Spyder]

The Swedish Commentator mentioned about Karami was weak because he's fasting.

Probably. Im sure he will get plenty of Gold medals from God in heaven then If true, its an utter joke this fasting situation for ALL religions. Common sense vs Religion hmmm lets see who wins. NOT IRAN THATS FOR SURE!

[EKBATAN]

ya are our athletes fasting ? any of them?
