        Wow, I am so proud of the Iranian team. The German commentary was Ofcourse talking about politics. And I have to be honest, I was touched when she looked to the Iranian flag and was so touched that her eyes have been filled with tears.

        This is gheyrat and pure love for your country.
        I am absolute proud.

              What was the deal with Iran's team members not receiving their Samsung Olympic phones? I saw the flag-bearer very emotional on the opening day. I doubt there was a connection to the mix-up.

                As I understand it, Samsung didn’t give phones to athletes from North Korea or Iran in order to comply with international sanctions against those two countries

                    The Winter Olympics is despressing. Most of the medal winners are from first world countries. It's all about the money.

                      Of course. Literally all winter-sports are for rich people.
                      I went on a cheap student snowboarding trip to the french alps for 5 days and it cost me over 1k!

                        Hear hear.
                        I thought most winter sports were an excuse for rich people not to have to compete with the poor.

                          Hell yeah, snowboarding's really fun. I'm on my university's ski & board team and we compete against fast racers from all around the US, some of which are Iranian-Armenians. If Iran were to snatch up these athletes from all around the world like the hockey team, we'd have a decent showing at the Winter Olympics in the years to come.

                            The Iran Ski Federation is much like all other Iranian Federations unfortunately, very poorly organized and managed

                              Germany killing it so far. 15 medals and 9 are GOLD. They have more gold medals by far than the next country (Norway with 6).

                              Gotta admire Germany.
