Iran Men's Weightlifting National Team @Rio

[mahestan]

Guys eitherway if he made 245kg he would win Silver, not Gold. The injury killed him, he has done 255kg before but he can't now so soon after his surgery.. Poor guy.

He is almost 370 lbs and that knee will never be the same. Time for him to take his health into consideration and hang up his gear.

Just give all the medals to USA and let it be. Screw Olympics, a politics-minded show.

They will. Have a look at the sports they have added for 2020 👍

Has anyone here watched weightlifting before? They were close calls but Behdad's elbows were too soft. It's not always the judges fault

100% agree but them shouldn't they judge consistently? Other shaky elbows were allowed to stand not even reviewed!

Case in point Georgia's last lift for WR was wobbly as heck!

GEORGIAN BROKE REZAZADEHS WORLD RECORD IN TOTAL!

[Abtin]

And Rezazadeh lost his world record... I'm done watching Olympics. They can keep their corrupt retard clown show for themselves. Discrimination and favor for certain countries. I'm done.

[Zamboor]

He was robbed, all three refs said it was ok, then suddenly changed their mind. This is wrong no matter what you think. Doesn't matter if he ended up fifth with that one still should have been accepted even Swedish commentator said he was robbed

[ilia]

doping maybe?

[BusiG]

The Georgian is pure BS! He had positive Doping and still they allow him to come back! Sorry but these Olympics are a joke!We really really have been robbed!!!!!

Iranians have flooded the Rio 2016 Instagram page

He should have tried to go for 240 - then at least he would get silver.

[Lorestani]

Behdad congratulating the Georgian team despite his state of mind. Class act!

I gotta admit, I am no expert on WL, and I shouldn't have followed the trend without full knowledge of the sport and its technicality. Apparently it was a clean call!

Georgian broke Rezazadeh's world record for total.

I was expecting that, he was getting 463 total in a regional competition earlier this year. Salimi himself said many times that Talakhadze is the favourite. Its just sad that both refs and coaching robbed him from a silver.

[Ab-Gosht]

so behdad only needed 236kg i guess for silver and they started him at 245. jeez they killed him
