MHSN 3,221 Posted September 23, 2018 #164 Share Posted September 23, 2018 wow . this is rare to see an Iranian not being afraid of Japan. he was obviously the better Judoka and took his chance at the end. he became only the 2nd Iranian to win a World title in Judo . and 3rd gold medal for Iran overall. when he started his early celebration (after that first waza-ari) it was all over the Asian Games tragedy again but only this time thing finished in a different way.

Turkey First this Greek guy in 81, now this. actually Albayrak is not even Greek, since he was born in Georgia with the original name of Vano Revazishvili, then changed in Roman Moustopoulos when he moved to Greece... so, we can say he's a journeyman, to say the least... thepharoah, MHSN, dareza and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys talk as if the games will be in Paris or Budapest but they will be in Tokyo. Sorry, but home advantage always makes a team perform to the best (or close to) of their capabilities. This is a law of olympics, tested and proven every 4 years. Japan with less than 5 or 6 golds would be a disaster for them. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan with less than 5 or 6 golds would be a disaster for them. I don't know why, but I see it on the contrary for Japanese, like they get destroyed by the home pressure. It's just my sensation, obviously. Personally I think that Japan, out of 15 events, will win 9-10, including the team. But I won't be disappointed, if that is not going to happen.
