Artur Taymazov loses his second Olympic gold medal ! IOC already took his 2008 gold medal. and now they are taking his 2012.

https://www.olympic.org/news/ioc-sanctions-one-athlete-for-failing-anti-doping-tests-at-london-2012-3

 

now this is interesting because the silver medalist Modzmanashvili from Georgia is also disqualified. the question is who is going to receive the gold medal now ? nobody ? one of those bronze medalists ? both of them ?

 

there is nothing in UWW rules for situations like this when both gold and silver medalists get disqualified. in London, Komeil Ghasemi (Iran) and Bilyal Makhov (Russia) won bronze. Ghasemi lost to Taymazov and Makhov lost to Modzmanashvili. if they want to follow their usual pattern, Ghasemi should receive the gold because he lost to the gold medalist (even though that sounds stupid) but then on other hand if they count "classification points" Makhov has more. but I guess it will be either both of them or none of them. it doesn't make sense to give the gold medal to just one of them.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why sports that hand out two bronze medals are dumb :p

wrestling was giving one bronze but they probably told to themselves, why Judo can and we can't ?! :d but to be honest when they made it double bronze medals in 2005, I was sure IOC won't let them do that at the Olympics but I was wrong ! lol

 

btw this issue already confused the media here, some reported that Ghasemi is going to receive the gold medal and some said he is going to get the silver.

 

if he gets the gold and assuming Nasirshalal in weightlifting will get that too (gold medalist from Ukraine is under investigation) this will make +3 gold medals for Iran in London Olympics :lol: I think no other county wins that number of gold medals in re-testing. even though it's much less than winning the medal in the competition day but at least better than nothing.

 

and if we count those 2 possible gold medals, Iran just needs one more to get into top 10 in the medal table :lol:  and that was what our current sport minister announced as his long term goal. I think he has more chance to achieve that in past more than future :p

Wrestling is an underrated sports, I want more wrestling events in the olympics.

 

Maybe men fighting beasts, like on Colosseum?

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
