2020 Tokyo Olympics - Schedule and live report

The quality of IRIB programs are poor.

People's money are used to make poor programs.

No competition means no incentive to improve.

Here’s what happened for those who missed it

thanks. sorry to say, but that actually looked a bit funny.. Sajjad's smooth hand movements only to get KO'd, Saudi's celebration only to get DQ'd 🤭🤭

Some interesting facts:

We made history in several Olympics.

2012: More medals than ever, 7 of them Gold. First Gold (3 wrestlers in fact) in Greco Roman. Also, first medal outside of Wrestling, Weightlifting, and Taekwondo. It was Ehsan Haddadi with silver in discus throwing as we all know...

2016: First female athlete won us a medal (Kimia Alizadeh in Taekwondo).

2020: First Gold medals outside of Wrestling, Weightlifting, and Taekwondo. Javad Forooghi in Shooting and Sajjad Ganjzadeh in Karate.

Not sure if many know or not, we have become much stronger in Olympics since 2012. It is also true for the Asian Games.

Good interview. Wish he had divulged a bit more about why/what his agent did that was so bad.

Another issue:

Hamideh Abbasali and Sara Bahmanyar could have ended up with a medal, especially Abbasali. This was sad, as they were both good. Abbasali had an injury but if she would have beaten the Swiss girl, she would have had bronze atleast. Would have been a good opportunity as we could have silence the Western media propaganda campaign about "refugee Alizadeh here and refugee Alizadeh there".
Here lies an fundamental issue. It is about the weakness of our female athletes. There seem to be psychological issues in every Olympic games with Iranian female athletes. Nahid Kiani even mentioned that after she lost the Alizadeh. She could not handle the mind games of Western Media. We need to work on that as female medals are very important, also for your prestige in front of Israel, Turks, Arabs, and the West.
It is more important than ever as Karate is gone in 2024 again. Iranian Taekwondo is down and IOC has negative approach on Weightlifting/Wrestling.

And for our male athletes, its all about stamina, stamina, and stamina. If we want to beat the American wrestlers, we need better stamina.

In short:
Our female athletes (also male to some extent) need a lot of sport psychologists and our male athletes need tons of stamina training.

I don't know if anyone has been following the Paralympics but with the 2 golds we got today in the last day, Iran had its best ever performance in Paralympic history with 12 Golds, 11 Silvers and 1 Bronze, finishing 12th and just missing the top 10.
We did fantastic in field events and Judo, got our usual volleyball gold and our two super girls Javanmardi and Nemati won their 3rd Paralympic gold in shooting and archery.

Why do we do better in paralympics than in Olympics?
