If Om Yun-chol competes here: I disagree, they should not be banned

I was checking the schedule , we will have athletes in 10 sports tomorrow. we will win medals in Taekwondo and Wrestling for sure. there are very slim chances in Shooting and Fencing.

 

no chance for gold in Poomsae Taekwondo. because South Korea will swap all 4 gold medals. but in Wrestling. one gold medal is (99%) sure thing but I hope for one more. I can't remember the last time we won a gold medal in 1st day of the competition. usually our favorite sports start in the 2nd week of the Games but this time is a bit different.

 

again no seeding in wrestling. so we have some not balanced draws. but in general I'm OK with our draw in wrestling. 74kg is really terrible. top half is too easy while in bottom half we have Sushil Kumar - Batirov in the first round. and then Ganzorig (remember this guy ? Mongolian coaches stripping in Rio ) and Fujinami. plus our Hosseinkhani and Abdurakhmanov. almost all of these guys are World medalists.

 

at 57 we will have the early final in 1st round, Takahashi (current world champion) vs Kang of North Korea. our Reza Atri will have win-or-die match in 2nd round. he has to beat Sandeep Tomar of India to stand a chance for bronze. because the winner of this match will lose to Erdenebat (MGL) in semifinal.

 

and the match I'm waiting for will be 97kg semifinal between Karimi and the Russian born Uzbek guy Ibragimov. this guy is something like a nightmare for our wrestling he beat whoever we send in past few years. most of his wins were close but he knew how to beat our wrestlers. this time our federation made a 90kg guy to move up weight to challenge this guy. I wonder how Karimi will do against a guy around 10kg heavier than himself ! Ibragimov is 34 ! I don't want him to retire before losing to one of our wrestlers

Japan is qualified but if they win the quota doesn't go to 2nd place, it's added to world qualifiers.

He was one of the biggest hits of the Olympics on the Dutch forum (together with Nijat Rahimov and Kim Woo-jin), so cool to see him again
