I believe Iran will be participating in Alpine Skiing, Cross Country Skiing, and Ski Mountaineering. Iranian participation is always welcome.

 

Yep . not a tough guess I think :d Ice sports, Luge, Ski Jumping, Freestyle, Curling and Biathlon do not even exist here.

 

I don't know much about "Ski mountaineering" though. I didn't know we have such things until I saw that list of 6.

Iran actually has one of the best mountain sports traditions in the world. I’ll be curious to see how your skimo athletes do.
 

Biathlon could exist. You have decent cross country skiers, and quite clearly Iranians are pretty handy with a rifle as well.
 

I’m actually a bit surprised that Skating and Curling haven’t caught on being as they’re the most accessible winter sports in my opinion. I mean Iran would appreciate some more medal chances at the Asian Winter Games I’d imagine...

decent ?  :d no way. from what I know there were talks about starting Biathlon and Curling but never happened. and won't happen anytime soon.

 

actually there is a skating federation but that's for roller sports. but if one day they decide to start those Ice sports at least they won't start from zero. there is a base for that

 

but there is a simple answer , in Iran they simply don't care about Asian Winter Games or even Winter Olympics. 99% people don't even know Winter Olympics has the same importance as the Summer Olympics. They are not going to start something which is not in the "real" Olympics and also there is no interest for that inside the country. Winter sports are simply being treated as non-Olympic sports. Underwater Hockey probably has more chance than Curling :d

 

ps: if it was a martial arts sport on ice or snow that would be different :d:lol: martial arts quickly get popular here

Ah right, that explanation is why the Netherlands absolutely dominates ice hockey :p

Not my fault your NOC has chosen not to fund Ice Hockey. Everyone’s too busy watching 13 canals freeze or something:p

I hope the official app is going to be a lot more complete within a few days, right now it's rather empty....nothing about athletes, the sports sections just link to a webpage instead of anything in the app...

Yeah, I’ve been largely disappointed by both the app and website so far. From what I’ve heard, the app should be a great resource come games time.

    • Surely they will unless I am missing something. 
    • So, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
    • 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.
    • After the 1st day only Dominican Republic has not win a medal.     G 6 - S 2 - B 0 -T 8  G 1 - S 4 - B 2 - T 7  G 1 - S 0 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 1 - B 2 - T 3 G 0 - S 1 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1
