they are now saying we only have 4 in weightlifting and barari is not mentioned. what happend to him?

Wher did you find that ?

What a joke !!!! They decided to add (in addition to Karate) Baseball/Softball, Surf, Skateboard and Climbing !!!!
3 out of 4 are not even sports ! Karate had to wait all these years while kids' entertainment like Skateboard is also added that easily, IOC is turning into a big joke year after year.
First they added BMX in 2008, then freestyle skiing events like slopestyle for Sotchi 2014 and then Golf and Rugby 7 which is above limit in the case of golf but now it is completely nonsense and pathetic. Only Karate or somehow Baseball deserve to be integrated at Olympics, the rest is pure joke.

IOC just added Karate to 2020 Olympic program, more chance for medal for Iran, but well we have to wait 4 years for that

Great. Now I'm waiting for football to be replaced with futsal so we can dominate the whole thing.

Wait until they add League of Legends.

I also heard they are going to replace Wrestling with Pokemon GO. So maybe we should tell Omid Norouzi and the others to go and catch Pokemon instead. ((Just kidding ))

Ok I've found the article. Just an advice, don't have such confidence about what you can read in this kind of news network because it is obvious they are amateurish when they don't spread false news.
They just forgot him, otherwise there is no news about him being out or anything. This is amateurish work, that's all.

In other news our Volleyball NT ended its preparation matches with a 3-1 victory against Cuba, the same team we will play next week.
2 previous friendly matches ended with 3-1 and 3-0 losses to Brazil.

Looking through the TV Guide, I'm feeling uneasy about seeing "Iraq v Denmark".

HOW? (Rhetorical question) Iraq seems to make every youth tournament, yet we fail time and time again.[emoji17]

Iran ceased to exist some 38 yrs ago..look for the name that starts with Islamic Republic to find your closest country name match

Long answer. To make short for the Iranian part it is the complete absence of decent management and for 2016 coaching too.
When on the other hand, for Iraq it is a natural miracle as they find around their country 23 players which have 22 years for ever. This miracle only happens in few countries such as Iraq, Syria, Nigeria ... etc

Oh god !!!! Another very hard draw in Boxing, we will never medal in this sport.

Very unfair draw for Rouzbahani who will have to defeat Kazakh Niyazimbetov another time to have a medal which he won't as Kazakhstan already bought the medal in this weight.
But he has to play strong boxer from NED at first, and then the winner of AZE vs UKR which will also bought the result while Niyazimbetov will only have easy opponents before 1/4.
Honestly the seeding is really nonsense: Cuab alone, IRL and FRA in 1 quarter, UZB and ALG in another one and all guys I've named in another one just for one medal !
Let's hope for more luck in Judo.

Fencing Men's Sabre Draw.
This one is hard too, but well nothing was guaranted in this event and there are a lot of good fencers so anyway you have to face them sooner or later.

1st Round
Abedini vs Yagodka (UKR)
Pakdaman vs Szabo (GER)

Possible 2nd Round
Abedini vs Gu Bon Gil (S. Korea)
Pakdaman vs Yakimenko (Russia)

Yakimenko and Gu are 2 of the bests fencers in the world right now, the Russian being the reigning world champion and Gu is usually the best man from Asia which means a lot. The good point is that both of our fencers know these 2 really well as they have faced them many times recently, however Gu is Abedini's arch rival and has lost a lot against him, on the other side Pakdaman won his last match against Yakimenko.
In an ideal world they would have met someone else than the #2 and #3 of the draw in 1/8 but that's it.

Iraq is playing much better then Denmark at the moment, they might be able to pull of a win.
