Olympic watch (2016 Rio news, qualifications, athletes)

[littlepersia17]

We can get more gold then 2012. Our boys just need to focus. Salimi will hopefully get another gold and we can get 3 maybe from wrestling.

Apparently Salimi is here just to fill the numbers. he got injured recently, and has acknowledged that he is not favourite to win.

Our wrestling will make up for it, no need to worry boys.

I don't know why we didn't take another lifter in the 105kg+ class such as Bahador Molaei?

Hashemi today was not really competitive, and Barari tomorrow is very unlikely to get a medal based on his recent lifts and the competition he is facing.

I don't want to see the big Georgian beat Salimi, it would be good to have another iranian like he had in London for 105kg+ category.

Congrats to all Iranians again!
Damesh garm.
2 more medals from weightlifting would be amazing. It's a shame our weight lifters can't emulate practice form as well in the actual tournament.

What time is greco-roman tomorrow? Also will United World Wrestling televise the matches?

This was such a huge heartbreak last Olympics and BS! Saeid got screwed.



Hopefully he redeems himself tomorrow! Does he have a good chance? Which of our wrestlers are expected to do well? Sorry, don't know much about the sport.

Both of our wrestlers will face tough opponents. If they win, they will face easier opponents. Are the draws intentional? instead of being random?

Hassan Taftian is running the 100m semi-finals tomorrow at 8:00PM EST

Earlier this year: Hassan Taftian vs. Usain Bolt. Usain, as expected, finished 1st, Hassan finished 3rd. He won bronze.

He seems like a slow starter but a great finisher.

Bahador is injured. He was in a car accident recently

Though draws in wrestling. I hope we can get a medal today.
