Anyone know who is on the Iran 3 v. 3 basketball team? Is it same players as the 5 v. 5 team?Comment

No they have different players for the 3 on 3 games. It is a different brand of basketball. I have seen couple of their games. The team is good but don't think good enough to win gold.Originally posted by Payam_Ali View PostComment

Has anyone noticed how in Sports Iranians and Japanese generally have good sportsmanship and even show it when they lose. In Asia the worst ones in terms of being sour losers are both Koreas, Mongolia and former USSR. The more I watch sports I appreciate and admire Japanese more.
In Olympic Games, usually apart from these countries like Australia, Britain, Canada, other Former USSR and some African and Latin American countries are also sour losers or show bad sportsmanship.
USA and China probably 50-50.Comment

Thank you Irannn for updating us on every sport. It's very nice to be able to read this otherwise hard to reach information. You're very valuable to this forum.

while that was great winning 3 gold medals but I'm mostly upset today because of those 2 terrible wrestlers. 97kg and 130kg are pretty weak in Asia but we wasted our chance by sending two terrible wrestlers. Mehdizadeh finished 3rd in Iranian trials and Heidari had proved before that he is terrible. we had better wrestler back home, with Aliyari and Ghourehjili we would win two medals for sure. and at least one more gold.
Khodabakhshi was also terrible. that Korean guy wasn't anything special. he was lucky in semifinal and later lost in the final. this is very obvious that we need a new generation in Taekwondo. Rajabi and Hosseini both won the gold. Hosseini beat the Olympic champion in the final.
I was almost sure about Nouri's gold today but Geraei had some great matches. still he was a bit lucky that the Olympic champion Kim lost to the Kyrgyz guy and made it easier for Geraei. winning 5 gold medals in wrestling is the max I was expecting from this. but still I think we should win 97kg gold at least.
beside Wrestling and Taekwondo, that was good that we won't leave the shooting competition without a medal. in Wushu we will have 5 finals against China tomorrow morning.
Archery compound was disappointing (but expected) in the ranking round, still we have to wait for the knockout rounds but our chance looks very slim.
-----------------------
I will write in details about tomorrow later today but there is an interesting note. Mohsen Mohammadseifi will fight China for the gold tomorrow but more or less at the same time his wife "Mahsa Javar" will try her chance for another gold in Rowing quadruple sculls alongside her teammates.Comment

So we were 5-0 in gold medal matches in wrestling? That’s pretty coolComment
