  1. Taha won the gold and brought the freestyle title to Turkiye. It’s the first time after 1993. Was not expecting this. We also won the greko title. We lost the women title by just 5 points. I know the Russia is not here but still a great success.
  2. Not even Russia, it seems like the half of semifinalists were from Daghestan. There must be limitations on this for sure, maybe giving permit for only one weight for each country
  3. Iran has been impressive in both heavyweights. Congrats. I think Rıza was the better wrestler but he is very old now, he lost all momentum in the last minute. I guess our heavyweight domination days are more or less over with Taha and Rıza getting old. But it was a great decade. The unfortunate thing is we do not have any followers in any weight class. We will probably experience a very bad decade now. But before those dark times we still have a chance to win 3 golds next year in the heavyweights (Taha, Rıza and Yasemin)
  4. Busenaz is a true superstar, maybe our only superstar in sports right now
  5. Not liking the decision is one thing, blaming judges and winner with being dirty and wanting the sport to be removed is another thing. As I said I did not watch the match and you are probably right, it might be the wrong decision, but I see that the points were close and Serra won the last round. I do not think judges were bribed and made our guy win. There were many cases in this tournament that I definitely thought we won the round and it was 4-1, 3-2 for the opponent. I never blamed the judges, our TV does that and I find it cringy, I also find it cringy when it is done here.
  6. Have not watched the game but obviously whenever an Italian loses a close match the judges and the management of boxing become biased and dirty. Yesterday they blamed the fact that judges were from Muslim countries, today 4 out of 5 judges were from Asia or Australia or South America but again they lost because this sport is dirty. By the way we lost a very close semifinal today against Romanian but hey I guess their lobby even topped our lobby.
  7. Very sad with our performance, but not for our final performance, we were pretty good with a chance to even win a gold, but either of our athletes did not make the finals in singles which I think is a huge failure.
  8. I do not agree with this at all, I do not accept the hidden blames to Turkish team implying that they did noy deserve the wins. It was a close game, we losy many games like this with referee decisipn and we won many, this time we won. Please stop implying the success of somebody is not deserved if you do not have proof. Hatice is a great boxer, a world champion.
  9. 2 golds I am very happy for Nafia, who was a chronic bronze medalist. Great success, although her running out of mat many times were quite irritating. I believe Hakan has superstar potential. I hope he soon stabilizes in the olympic weight.
  10. Here you go, if you can open it https://www.trtspor.com.tr/canli-yayin-izle/trt-spor-yildiz/
  11. Wow team title for Turkey It would not happen if Russia was here but I'll take it :)
  12. As Turkey, we were really close with multiple medals in all wrestling, karate, boxing and taekwondo. But we missed it in Judo with two 5th places ?
  13. If there is a point or warning they stop the match.
  14. I am not sure if it is so unpopular, I also find Karate much more enjoyable to watch.
