I’m aware didn’t send their stars for this competition, but this gives me some hope for a team medal at Santiago and the chance to actually contest an Olympic quota Congrats. The score definitely puts them in contention for Olympic qualification Braulio, Ted and mrv86 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,221 Posted August 1, 2023 #12 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Iran sent 3 gymnastics to Chengdu but only 1 of them is on the startlist because the other 2 guys need their licences to be renewed. (what the hell is that?) which doesn't happen. because FIG still recognizes the old president of Iran Gym. federation and that lady is facing some charges and the sport ministry doesn't work with her (for stealing money or something) FIG only accepts documents from her and she doesn't send a thing. as simple as that. for that reason Iran didn't participate at the Asian Champs and also won't participate (most probably) at the Worlds. Universiade has a different registration system, therefore Iran could participate but then this licence thing happened which means also no Asian Games for them (unless a solution emerges) and this is happening when we have couple of gymnastics who can be competitive in world competitions for the first time personally I don't know who is right or who is wrong. and I don't even care. I only care about the athletes. it's just a battle between some corrupt individuals but FIG is taking side and that's disgusting. weren't they supposed to be on the side of the athletes? Iran gymnastics is in this turmoil for 2 years for this reason and FIG simply doesn't care, they just want their curropt friend back. (only temporarily Iranians were allowed to compete for few months early 2023) Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard procedure really, unless there are some major issues at the federation level....as seems to be the case in Iran's gymnastics federation, judging by what you wrote. With of course the athletes ending up the victims of that, as per usual when federations (or whoever at that kind of organizational level) mess stuff up Edited August 2, 2023 by heywoodu Josh 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

(don't know for how long) personally I'm more angry on FIG, because I thought this is their only job to protect and defend the athletes. but it's like they say "goodbye, call us whenever our friend is back" Josh and heywoodu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orangehair43 177 Posted October 15, 2023 #19 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Decent chance won’t win more than one medal in Paris which would probably cause a major funding cut (Lottery funding is rapidly falling.) and a removal of as a major gymnastics player, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will still be set a target of 3-5 medals across the artistic, rhythmic and trampoline disciplines. Within artistic, even without Gadirova, they will have realistic medal chances with the men's team, Whitlock on pommel, Jarman on vault, Tulloch on rings and even an outside chance at an all-around medal from Joe Fraser. Obviously a lot depends on how the winter goes, but GB Gymnastics will be thinking they are in a good place going into Paris. In terms of funding, I'm not sure what you've based the assertion that lottery funding is rapidly falling. Financial support from UK Sport for the Paris Olympic cycle amounts to 241mln which is a significant increase on the 221mln awarded going into Tokyo. In addition to the funding of the national federations, there is around an additional 60mln of funding which is given directly to athletes. Looking at gymnastics specifically, they have received 13.3mln going into Paris - up from 13.2mln ahead of Tokyo. Assuming that the GB team does fall short of their target, whilst they would expect a funding cut, it is unlikely to be major and I'd still expect it to be in the region of 12.5-13mln. One of the biggest factors counting against major funding cuts is the need to address and implement the findings of the Whyte review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
