well this is it. not a bad opening day, 2 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze. Yazdani's gold medal was a sure thing but Karimi was a nice surprise. didn't expect him to beat guys much heavier than himself. I'm still mad at Hosseinkhani. this guy should be banned from wrestling forever. same goes to Nassiri. I think Atri also did good (considering his low potential) to win a bronze. 57kg in Asia is always tough.

start list in weightlifting

Askari is in Group B ! wow he had no chance but still .group B. seriously ?!

looks like 85kg is wide open, all 7 weightlifters in Group A have more or less the same entries ! I hope Makvandi shows something special

94kg gold and silver belong to Iran unless Rostami does something stupid and bombs out trying to challenge Moradi ! that Qatari/Egyptian kid is good though.

105kg looks like a tough battle between 5-6 weightlifters. mostly Nurudinov and two Iranians, even though we can't underestimate the Korean guy. that Iraqi guy usually have big entries but doesn't perform well in the competition.

again +105kg gold and silver probably will go to Iran but that's not a sure thing. Djungabaev has the same entry

well Bekzod Abdurakhmonov has the same situation. he is from Boston. so actually 3rd medal since Bekzod won two Asiad golds before him.

 

I don't think this Domenic guy is something special. he won few matches mostly because he was "unknown" and his opponents probably had no clue about him. we will see if he can continue to win medals in Asia or not.

    • For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?
