2018 Asian Games

u are a hero, u must be working 24/7 to keep up with all these info!

So are we sending our best volleyball team?

lol not necessarily 24/7 but I always check the news (not only Iranians) and I also followed all multi-sport competitions since 2000.

Yes we are sending our best team in volleyball. that was mostly a demand from players too. with a Gold medal in AG they can live without going to military service.

actually only in two sports we are not 100% sending our best team. Football (since we are sending U21 team) and Handball. we were supposed to have our legionnaires but it seems most of them won't make it in time, we will have lots in trouble in playmaker position without Esteki brothers and Norouzinejad

yes he moved up, he has no chance to beat sohrab. sohrab is doing world records in training, he has a chance to break the world record in asian games

there is no TV coverage for Squash. and some of Cycling events. so absolutely nowhere. that's pity because we have a very good medal chance in Mountain Bike Cycling but they are not going to broadcast MTB, BMX and some of road cycling events. based on the schedule I have they will only broadcast Road Race event and all Track events in Cycling.

even in Badminton and Tennis we will have several courts playing at the same time. I'm not sure if they cover all of them. and since we are very weak in both sports, they will send our athletes playing in no-Tv coverage courts unless they play against the favorites.

but I'm sure there will be live coverage for all Swimming events. all Track Cycling events and apparently all Water polo matches. IRIB 3 and IRIB Varzesh will broadcast the competition for Iranian athletes. but these sports are not probably in top of their lists . there is always possible to have several Iranian teams/athletes competing at the same time. Iranian channels usually go for more possible medal chances and then team sports.

but this youtube channel broadcasted both football matches today. I hope they cover the whole competition but I'm not sure

speaking of Squash. draw is out for individual events

I don't think we stand a chance for medal here but I think all of our players are considered favorite to at least win their first matches . but to win a medal you have to win 3 matches.

We lost to Vietnam by 3-0 today. Pretty much expected they reached the AFC U23 last year...

[Azeem98]

Japan won 1-0 with their u21 side against Nepal's u23. Nepal won the SAFF u23 cup recently

[Azeem98]

Last time we ever played Japan was also at the Asian games back in 2006.

Key points from the match

A young Honda and to cracking goals by us to make it a respectful effort after going 3-0 down
