2020 Tokyo Olympics - Schedule and live report

[AIrani]

Kimia up 3-1 after first round against CHN. Her coach is also Iranian (former olympic medalist too). Speaking in Farsi during the break.

In English, our language is Persian.

Farsi cats, Farsi carpets, Farsi Gulf, or Persian Cats, Persian rugs/carpets, and Persian Gulf.

CHN takes lead after second round 6-4. Kimia needs to step it up for the last round.

[Ostad_Goosfand]

Kimia to the semis! One more win and Kiani gets a repachage chance vs Jade jones

[diz]

Hosseini up next!

[Babak500]

Guys, stop reporting about Kimia. She sees herself as a refugee and soon a German. She even said in an interview with a German paper that she hates Iran and does not see herself Iranian.

[Ab-Gosht]

does taekwondo have bronze match or is her bronze 100%

[AIrani]

Hosseini up next!

It says, delayed.

[Ostad_Goosfand]

It says, delayed.

He just finished first round, down 6-7

[Ostad_Goosfand]

Taekwondo is really a coinflip, this uzbek is running through the entire competition. Also I’m confused it seems like sometimes the kicks register but the sensors don’t

[diz]

Damn, UZB up 14-8 after a head shot that knocked off Hosseini's head gear! one more round to go. Let's go Hoesseni!

[Ostad_Goosfand]

This ref gives a punch to uzbek everytime, never seen it given so liberally

[Babak500]

We often lose against Turkic nations in olympics. Mental issue.

they just want to see the refugee "iranian" to win.

The belt she is wearing has her name in the red, green, and white tricolor of Iran. Not supporting the Islamic Republic and refusing to be a pawn for Rahbar e Vatan Foroush doesn't mean you hate Iran or aren't Iranian. If anything taking a stand against the IR and speaking up about the oppression of the apartheid regime and the systematic discrimination of women under the IR is a very brave act. She has more gheyrat and is more Iranian than many of the athletes actually representing the IR.

Dorood bar Kimia!!!
