"If this is not enough for Sanne Meijer to reach the final, I'll eat my slippers", said her coach Van Gestel.

 

 

Result:

 

 

 

Too bad but now that we've come to this point, I want to see some slippers being eaten or at least being prepared.

All of our 4 Karatekas today advanced to the final ! (3 of them against Japan !) which means out of 6 athletes we had in World Games so far all 6 of them finished or will finish on the podium. most importantly they all win medals in future Olympic sports, Sport Climbing and Karate.

 

we had Asian Champs in Karate only few days ago and our athletes were supposed to be tired here while Japan rested all World Games participants in Asian Champs. it's funny that 3 of these guys Poursheib, Asiabari and Abbasasli didn't even make the Asian team ! (they were still there for the team kumitee event) for whatever reason our Karatekas usually perform better outside of Asia.

 

even though I still have my own view about Karate but there are only few sports that Iran can win medals in world class tournaments and Karate is one of them. having 5 finalists out of 5 athletes is a very good result (Mehdizadeh won silver yesterday)

We are already losing 0-4 against USA in roller hockey looks like we will finished last in every team sport outside speedway...
