Poursheib just beat the host Karateka in his opening match, next match will be interesting against USA, but that American guy Kamran Madani is actually Iranian :d 

 

considering the Olympic qualification, Poursheib is in the same weight as Ganjzadeh , so I care less about Olympics qualification for him. for him only winning a world medal matters.

 

but there is an Israeli guy not far from Poursheib. hope someone takes care of him soon.

That sportdata website is so ridiculously slow :lol: 

 

An athlete's profile like this takes forever to load (and it's not even a good one, it doesn't even show their birth date for example :lol: )

actually it was Chobotar (UKR) who took care of Poorshab...

but as he went on winning and he's through to the Gold Medal match, Poorshab will have a chance to win a consolation Bronze...

Great, day 1, all 6 Dutch athletes out basically immediately, including Tyron Lardy, ranked 6th in the world and Timothy Petersen, who won European bronze last year and now lost against a Colombian who's 300th or something :p (although to be fair, Petersen injured his foot last month and only barely made the world champs)

and the disaster for Italy is now complete...also Silvia Semeraro (women's -68kg) is out in an early round after losing to an unknown Norwegian...:facepalm::wall:

 

in just an afternoon we probably have already compromised our chances to qualify an athelte to both the heavyweight classes in Tokyo...these championships are already highly disappointing, even if tomorrow we put 4 people in the gold medal matches (which won't happen, in any case)...

 

when it really matters, Italy fail...that's obvious...:sick::(

that's Karate...actually, that's Kumite...on a given day, anything can happen...

p.s. rankings are not so important, as many Countries don't take part in most of the tournaments throughout the season and show up only at the global events...

so at the end of the day, Ganjzadeh in the final against Germany and Poursheib will fight for bronze vs Kazakhstan. I was expecting more but this is kumite, nothing is guaranteed. I hope both can repeat their 2016 medals (gold for Ganjz and bronze for Poursheib)

 

but what a disastrous day for Iranian girls. both lost in the 1st round. :zip: Zangeneh lost to Cuba ! :facepalm:

      Doping Cases and Bans in 2024

      https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. .

      big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.

      I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.

      If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.

      Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.

      Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).
