Olympic watch (2016 Rio news, qualifications, athletes)

[Tehranto]

Milad's crying because he defeated his country of birth.

[ehsan singapore]

woow khodabashi lost 17-5, is embarassing our iranian go away and come and beat us!

[Nokhodi]

Khodabakhshi has been horrible though.

Pathetic performance. Only one of our athletes that I will say should be ashamed of his display. Really bad. Gifted that to Beigi.

[Keano]

I have no idea how this sport works.

Kheyli asoone, Har ki emtiyaaz bishtar begire mibare!

[jahandoost]

So many iranian athletes switching to Azerbaijan

They pay them well and many of them were told they weren't making Iran's team.

rofl you serious bruh? Need I mention the GR wrestlers, and our clock-looking boy?

Only Singapore and Malaysia give more to Olympians who get medals.

Azerbaijan gives an insane amount of money:

For Gold 510,000 USD
Silver 255,000 USD
Bronze 130,000 USD

Basically get a bronze and you can buy a decent apartment in Iran, or start a small business, or set your family up back home.

Sure is awkward when they win against the Iranian team.

They seem to suffer from the same fate as our wrestlers. They tear shit up in World tournaments, then they go to olympics and mirinan to shalvareshon?

[Omid177]

Our Taekwando fighters can continue winning useless world cups which nobody watches but when it comes to important tournaments like the olympics they screw up. They don´t have GHEYRAT like our wrestlers and weightlifters do. They always screw up! It was the same with Karami in 2012 and now this shit. So sick of that!

GR wrestlers really did their best, but it wasn't good enough.

Ashourzadeh - fair enough - he wasn't focused

But Khodabakhshi was fighting like it was a joke.

Shame!

I love them all. I really do. I just think that they should start hiring sports psychologists. But then again, mariziye roohi is a big taboo in our culture, so psychologists cant do their work in this regard.
