Gold for Ganjzadeh :) even though that was almost guaranteed when Japan had no competitor in this weight (out of 6 events each country should pick 4 for each gender) I'm sure Ganjzadeh was waiting for this moment for 4 years, he got disqualified for protesting in Incheon 2014.

 

but a sure gold medal wasted by Abbasali. she was leading 1-0 with 10 seconds to go and even 1-1 was enough for her since she had "Sansho" but she gave up a 2pts kick :( she beat this Japanese girl Uekusa a month ago in Asian Championship. but their matches are always close, this time Uekusa won.

Eko Febrianto was disqualified in his Pencak Silat QF bout.

@MHSN will be shocked to hear that. :d

 

Also interesting, :MAS with gold and silver in Women's Squash, whereas :HKG take both medals in the men's competition.

Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

They use a very weird format for volleyball. but based on my understanding here is the bracket

 

Saudi Arabia vs Chinese Taipei

Thailand vs Indonesia

Qatar vs Myanmar

---------------------

Korea vs Pakistan

Japan vs India

Iran vs China

 

winner of matches in bold will go directly to the semifinal and for example winner of KOR/PAK match will play the winner of JPN/IND match and winner will play the winner of IRN/CHN.

 

so that's a sure thing we will have a new finalist in the history of Asian Games. Iran, China, Japan and Korea they are aill in bottom half ! (even though Japan and China are here with B teams) none of those teams in top half played in AG final before. Indonesia somehow invented this crazy format to find a way into the medal round. but they lost to Saudi Arabia and Saudis as Group A winner took their place . still Indonesia was lucky in the blind draw for 2nd placed teams and got into the top half.
