Olympic watch (2016 Rio news, qualifications, athletes)

[Irannn]

Guys don't even think about the qualification in handball, we are not even sending our best team, Allahkaram Esteki won't be there for disciplinary reasons.

This is just a good experience against 3 world class European teams. that's it all.

What did he do ?

[Irannn]

Mojtaba Abedini made history today, he won a silver medal in Seoul Grand Prix (Iran's first ever medal in this level of competition) to qualify for Rio. but since he finished in top 14. we also could have a second fencer "Ali Pakdaman" through continental quotas.

What did he do ?

Didn't come to play for the NT in Asian Championship in Bahrain, and apparently lied to the federation about his club "not letting him to play"

I don't see Iran defeating World's Powerhouse Spain today so I assume the handball qualification is over for IRan.
