Asian Games 2018

today we lost everywhere but bronze medal in water polo made my day ! what a drama. Iran was leading 8-7 but lost the lead in last 30 seconds. and then in penalties they had to go far and Iran won 8-7 in penalties and 16-15 in general !

 

this bronze medal and Alamian's bronze in table tennis are very special for me. value much more than cheap medals in some of those nonsense sports.

That's fair.

 

Indonesia cheated  A LOT in these Games but in their defense that rule existed even before. for example South Korea entered in all 6 events while other countries had to pick only 2 out 3 for each gender

 

but Indonesia made a little change here. they made it 4 men's and 2 women events. with each country entering only 2 in 4 men's events. there were chance for Indonesia to find a event without both Thailand and Malaysia, and they took advantage of it.

and Ciric deserved lots of credit for that. there was a huge gap between top 3 and Iran in water polo, they worked hard specifically for this match vs China

He is really nice guy. He was amazing player and he is now good coach as well.

 

Now I hope that we will see Iran in World League next year.

and in the Baseball Gold medal match, Japan lost to Korea once again...

 

3-0 for the Koreans the final score of today's match (with the result basically decided after the 1st inning, when KOR scored 2 of their 3 runs)...

Sri Lanka almost beat Japan in rugby sevens (12 10) was the score

Just noticed a lot of Japan's rugby sevens players are from Fiji
