I understand your point of view and your expectations, but let me tell you, my friend...

you can't even imagine how much I'd like Italy being as "bad" as Iran in Wrestling...:rofl:;)

 

:d in this case I also would like Iran to be as bad as Italy in Water Polo, Fencing and volleyball (just named these sports since they are my favorite sports)

 

but seriously our freestyle is not in good situation. I compared them with Greco team and comparing to winning 4 gold medals this is already a very bad result. which is a bit weird because freestyle is 10 times more popular in Iran. in Persian we call Greco wrestling as "Western wrestling" the meaning is this is not ours !

 

the thing is I don't know what's the reason behind this. we got very weak in freestyle all of a sudden after 2016. while I'm quite sure they have better coaches in freestyle. better preparation, a bigger pool of wrestlers to pick from. even our senior team is very weak at the moment. we won one medal last year in Paris and this is very possible to repeat the same result in Hungary this year.

I personally think that that is what gives Iranians an advantage in wrestling  Imagine  you are Vijay and the person you are facing is Hosein Jahanbakhsh FOROUZANDEH GHOJEHBEIGLOU, hefeels unsure

that was the story of the day for Iran. this is the 4th defeat in last 20 seconds. and the most painful one. obviously there is something wrong. they just can't focus in last 30 seconds.

 

well we will have one wrestler in the final tomorrow and he already beat Russia. so maybe one gold. still a very bad tournament.

abbas not only beat the russian ..................he really wiped the floor with him ........................so he looks good for the gold

I know, I've always seen Iran excelling in Freestyle rather than Greco for years and years...

but then suddenly you also started to win a lot of medals also in Greco and Freestyle results have been getting worse and worse in the last few seasons...

and if even you don't know why it happened...:dunno:

we always had up and down in wrestling but we started to get thing steady since 2012 and even though still the same coach and the same federation is still in office we just started to get weak after Rio Olympics. maybe because the others studied our "pushing pushing and underhook" style and we didn't upgrade it.

 

as for Greco, we owe that to one person our legendary coach Banna. he spent few years of his life trained a new generation, (Sourian and co) they started to get results since 2006 and of course 2012 was the peak for him winning 3 Olympic gold medals which will be never repeated. we got a bit weaker since our stars starting to retire but since our junior teams are getting good results we can be positive about the future.

At least Italy has had some decent results in recent years, mainly thanks to Chamizo, while GB doesn't even have any WC participants in a sport with 18 Olympic classes. :roflmao:

but since Beijing 2008 GBR have been one of the top Nations at the Olympics...way better than Italy, for instance (and if we go back not later than 1996, we all know how British sport was...in that year, if it weren't for the great Steven Redgrave, it would have been a glorious 0 Gold at the Games for the British team)...

so, I wouldn't mind to have a discipline or two where we don't even bother to participate if then the overall result is that...;)

Yes, which is why GB is the worst of the "big" teams to allow such a performance (1996) to happen. Wouldn't happen to Russia, USA, China etc. and the trend can easily go on a downwards spiral again because everything is based on funding and target performances as the base for funding for the next Olympic cycle. If for example rowing remains in the state it is now in Tokyo, I don't think it's going to be a good sign. For a flagship sport no less. Then again, GB has the tendency of not taking (certain) world championships very seriously, which is annoying me. :d

 

Also for wrestling, GB had some kind of history in Freestyle at least but as with many sports (Water Polo comes to mind), they let interest slip a bit ages ago. It's not just wrestling, GB is also non-existent in Volleyball, Handball, to an extend Basketball and Water Polo. So, team sports. There's just no interest in certain sports.. at all. Italy on the other hand is at least present everywhere and can surprise on a good day. I can't think of a sport where Italy has no interest in. Perhaps Table Tennis and Badminton are Italy's worst (Olympic) sports.

Sorry but I can't agree with you for the badminton. We start to invest a lot of money with the Project24 and we start lo see some youth athlete that can improve our level (like Caponio)

      Which Sports Events are you Currently Watching?

      By phelps · Posted

      my problem isn't that*...it's that I just can't stand the test match format    I'd rather watch T20 or ODI...I don't like even the T10 format   *I just discovered that we can watch the 7+ ott also here in Italy, just need a good  VPN and a bit of patience to register to their portal (it's completely free, and the app on the amazon firestick works way better than the regular website on my PC)    for those who like to dare, there's a chance to subscribe to Kayo Sports, too, but I didn't take the risk yet...you know...   meanwhile, for those who are more into "a certain kind of stuff"  there's always the magical app Sportsfire (it works basically only on the amazon firestick, though)...and you have a whole world at your feet  (when it worls )

      Cross-Country Skiing Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      Meanwhile, a bit of a request for help: I have been trying, but if anyone can find the qualification rules for the world championships in Trondheim, specifically the requirements to be allowed to start in all races, that'd be great, I can't find it anywhere yet..   Edit: of course I found it right after asking for help     Only remaining question is: does 'current' mean what at that moment is the current list (the 6th FIS points list) or the one that is used for the eligibility for the WSC 2025 as listed on the 'Dates of the lists' document (5th FIS points list)?

      Happy New Year to you as well!   So, we got back from Oberwiesenthal Sunday night, after an adventurous drive in the snow and a long road back home. It went well there: the classic sprint on Saturday resulted in 314 points, which improved her own position towards the team sprint in the world championships (being in the team sprint is potentially very important towards the Olympics). She beat her main rival by a whopping 11 seconds, so that was awesome.   20k mass start classic on Sunday wasn't that good: in the first of six laps, some athletes around her fell, one of them hit her left foot (the one that got injured in the accident 3 years ago) and that resulted in quite some pain. I was waiting with my drinks in the coaching area, but after the field passed there in lap two, she didn't appear, so I knew something was up. Walked back and saw her walking towards me, then she explained what had happened. The pain after being hit in the foot was too much to keep going for 16km, especially in a race that wouldn't count for the Olympic ranking anyway and was only meant for 'racing rhythm', continueing could do more damage than good.   That's a shame, but no problem, the sprint went well and that was WAY more important. Also: the day before the race we went to the Polish wax cabin to ask for help, because she does always need someone to wax her skis and 'Team' Brazil isn't really an option. The Polish very gladly helped (and were paid with a nice 12-pack of beer we brought for that occassion) and the skis were really good, so that was fantastic. Even better: after the mass start, and explaining why being hit in the foot was such a problem and so on, the wax guy - without us even asking - offered to also help at the world championships, and invited her for a training camp with the team in the summer     December had gone very well as well, right now (with still this entire season and half of next season to go) she is leading the Brazilian Olympic ranking by a nice margin. Of course many races to come for everyone, but so far, so good!   Next option is 17-19 January, FESA Cup in Falcade. Financially it's a bit tough, since that is yet another 2300km with the rental car (with which we already did 1600 now, and we only have 2000 on the contract, so every km outside of it costs 20 cents), plus another accomodation needed. We're looking into the options, because Falcade has a classic sprint AND a 10k freestyle, which is the absolute perfect combination considering those are the things that count for the Olympic ranking. We're trying to scrape enough together, so...we'll keep you updated

      Luge FIL World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Heraskevyvh is very good in this season. He did worse last season. Our team is unfortunately doing much worse now.    In luge, unfortunately, it`s difficult to break the dominance of Germany, Austria and Latvia. The USA has also made a lot of progress. I have also read that Russia may return under a neutral banner, so I don`t think we will win a medal in Cortina 2026. The only hope is that we will use our knowledge of the new track in Cortina and then maybe we will win a one medal, maybe in the women's doubles. Unfortunately, we don`t have a star like Armin Zoeggeler as before.
