Terrible first day. Ahmadreza Mohsen Nejad drew an Israeli in the first round. Naghousi was the only one of 5 weight classes to make it to the final.

If we can grab another gold tomorrow that would be a pretty decent performance.
2 in total is not bad at all in GR. 3 would be amazing.

Good reason to kick his butt. Specially in wrestling, we would lose one out of 10, perhaps.Originally posted by shahin2000 View Post
He doesn't need to shake his hand or anything, Ukrainians athletes are still facing russian without shaking their hands. They're getting slammed for not doing it but we just walk away as soon as we have an Israeli opponent and it's nothing new.

Wonderful performance from the team, we finish first in GR.
There was a time we would be happy with a silver or a bronze.
Now let's see the transition to the senior competition. Usually only those who end up winning the whole thing easily make it big later. Out of the three gold, there's only one guy who literally looked the best in his category. Hope they can all improve.Comment

From powerhouse to superpower. Not world class but super power in Greco.
This is what a national program and reform from above can do for freestyle in future. Combine fantastic traditions in freestyle with a state of the art program from above and we will take russias place as nr1.
I was that 15 year old kid watching Rangraz battling it out for our first gold in 2001. Growing up I could not in wildest imagination see us taking over like this!Comment

For the senior tournament, I am seeing only like 5 weights and if I am correct they are all non olympic weights. Is that how the competition is usually in olympic years? Only the non-olympic weights compete in these years?Comment

No. The entire 10 weight classes will be competing.Originally posted by shahin2000 View PostComment
