shocking news for Iran one day before the competition , AKF didn't let two time World Champion Amir Mehdizadeh to participate, saying he is banned for a year !! because of his protest after the Asian Games final where he clearly got robbed against the Indonesian guy. he attended the medal ceremony but removed the silver medal from his neck very quickly and left the podium early (still, after the Indonesian anthem but before the photography)

 

seriously 1 year ban for that ?!!! interestingly nobody knew that in Iran, as he participated in WKF events. if they knew at least they could send someone else, it's not like we don't have any other medal caliber Karateka. :facepalm:

OMG! :yikes::facepalm::wall:

 

frankly, WKF should take the status of OQR tournament away from this one and force AKF to act properly...

 

something like that it's absolutely unacceptable...

 

and then they cry because they've been axed from the future Olympic Games already before having their official debut...:whistle:

 

if you allow things like that to happen...:hairpull::pope:

The Iranian officials claimed they tried until the last hours to solve the problem but the competition started today without him. it seems AKF officials in Jakarta told the Iranians that he is banned for a year. no letter, no email. and in time, the Iranian officials claimed they solved the problem and there will be no suspension for him, in past year we had change in Iran Karate federation, and the "new officials" had no idea about that. they even accepted his name, gave him ID card ! Iranians even tried to get WKF president into it and solve the problem with his help but no avail. :cry: since he changed his body weight from 60 and 67 and had some injuries, his results weren't any good last year and his chance was very slim to qualify through the ranking. but then I can't understand how the hell they can ban someone for a year for such protest !! that wasn't such a big deal :wacko:

 

btw, do you know if this is the Asian Qualifier ? beside ranking points I mean for the best gold medalists to qualify. it should be, there is no other Asian competition. :dunno:

 

the document says "If Continental Games are not approved as a qualification event on a specific continent, then the highest ranked athlete not yet qualified from the Olympic Standing on 6 April 2020 from that specific continent, will obtain the quota place, respecting the maximum quota per NOC."

 

this is amazing we still don't know that ! :facepalm::wall:

as far as I know, the only Continental Events approved as Olympic Qualifier are the European Games and the Pan-American Games (at least, those are the only 2 named in the official qualification document on the WKF website)...

 

therefore, for Asia, Africa and Oceania the following statement should be considered:

 

"If Continental Games are not approved as a qualification event on a specific continent, then the highest ranked athlete not yet qualified from the Olympic Standing on 6 April 2020 from that specific continent, will obtain the quota place, respecting the maximum quota per NOC."

 

so, this event should give points for the OQR, but shouldn't be among those events giving up direct quota (which will be reallocated to the OQR, also to choose the best male and female for the Continental Quota)...

 

basically, it's quite a mess...they could (and should) definitely have made it a lot simpler, imho...:facepalm:

when they were writing that qualification rules, they didn't know there will be no "continental games" in Asia in 2019 ?! :facepalm: they could simply write that. is it even possible to count 2018 Asian Games for this ? :mumble: guess not. as you said it will most probably go to the OQR.

AKF uses a different program comparing to WKF, we have all the finalists for kumite events today, all finals and kata events will be held tomorrow. also only in Asia we have a 55kg competition for men !

 

here is the finalists

 

Men's

 

55kg: :KAZ Andrey Aktauov vs :KSA Abdullah Al-Harbi

60kg: :KGZ Rafael Akbarov vs :UZB Sadriddin Saymatov

67kg: :JPN Hiroto Shinohara vs :KAZ Didar Amirali

75kg: :KSA Abdulaziz Al-Hakami vs :JPN Ken Nishimura

68kg: :INA Ceyco Georgia Zefanya vs :UZB Nodira Djumaniyazova

+68kg: :KAZ Sofya Berultseva vs :IRI Hamideh Abbasali

 

---------------------------------------------

terrible terrible tournament for the men's team ! :facepalm: Ganjzadeh lost to that Saudi guy again ! Askari lost to Nishimura, the good news is they are almost safe in Olympic ranking. but this is extremely disappointing. this is the second time Sajjad is losing to this guy. Saudi Arabia has 3 in the final and we have just 1 ! :wacko:

 

on other hand great result for the women's team to have 3 in the final. specially Abbasali needs the gold medal to keep herself in top 4. interestingly all of  the Iranians here lost to eventual finalists, all of them will be alive for the bronze medal. (except 67kg where we had no competitor because of Mehdizadeh's suspension)

Gold medalists

 

Men's

 

55kg: :KAZ Andrey Aktauov

60kg: :UZB Sadriddin Saymatov

67kg: :JPN Hiroto Shinohara

75kg: :JPN Ken Nishimura

84kg: :IRI Zabihollah Poursheib

+84kg: :KSA Tareg Hamedi

Kata: :JPN Ryo Kiyuna

Team Kata: :JPN Japan

 

Women's

 

50kg: :UZB Bakhriniso Babaeva

55kg: :IRI Taravat Khaksar

61kg: :CHN Yin Xiaoyan

68kg: :UZB Nodira Djumaniyazova

+68kg: :IRI Hamideh Abbasali

Kata: :JPN Kiyou Shimizu

Team Kata: :JPN Japan

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

with only team kumite events left for tomorrow, Japan has 6 gold medals. for Iran it's 3 gold, 2 silver and 4 bronze. while this is not really a good result but in term of Olympic qualification I'm almost happy with them. Abbasali won the gold and she needed this more than anybody else. Khaksar also put herself in race for Olympic quota with gold medal here. even though I think at the end we have realistic chance for 3 direct quotas but right now the chance still exists for women's 55 and 61, it's funny the only weight we have absolutely no chance to qualify is men's 67kg !

both Ganjzadeh and Askari managed to win bronze. very bad result for high quality athletes like them but I think they are exhausted with too many competitions in a short period. i think it's time to rest at least for some Serie A events. they can afford not to participate in couple competitions

Iran won both kumite events, both of them had unbelievable comeback in their matches against Japan. men's team was down 2 defeats and 1 draw but they dominated the last two individual matches, and the women's team was down against Japan until the very last second where Taravat Khaksar scored the winning point.

 

here is the final medal table

 

:JPN Japan - 6 / 3 / 4

:IRI Iran - 5 / 2 / 4

:UZB Uzbekistan - 3 / 1 / 3

:KSA Saudi Arabia - 1 / 3 / 0

:KAZ Kazakhstan - 1 / 2 / 0

:CHN China - 1 / 0 / 3

:INA Indonesia - 0 / 2 / 1

:JOR Jordan - 0 / 1 / 2

:HKG Hong Kong - 0 / 1 / 1

:KGZ Kyrgyzstan - 0 / 1 / 1

:MAS Malaysia - 0 / 1 / 1

:KUW Kuwait - 0 / 0 / 5

:VIE Vietnam - 0 / 0 / 3

:TPE Chinese Taipei - 0 / 0 / 2

:MAC Macau - 0 / 0 / 1

:KOR South Korea - 0 / 0 / 1

:THA Thailand - 0 / 0 / 1

:UAE United Arab Emirates - 0 / 0 / 1

    • Choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant is a critical step for students looking to pursue education overseas. With so many options available, it can be challenging to determine which consultant is best suited for your academic goals. To make the most out of your study abroad journey, it is essential to find a reliable consultant who understands your educational needs and helps you navigate the complexities of applying to international universities. Here are some essential factors to consider when choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant for your academic goals. 1. Evaluate Their Expertise and Experience When selecting a Study Abroad Consultant, it is crucial to assess their experience and expertise in the field. A well-established consultant with years of experience will have in-depth knowledge of the study abroad process, including admission requirements, visa processes, and scholarship opportunities. You should look for consultants who specialize in your preferred countries and courses. This ensures they are up-to-date with the latest changes in university admissions and can provide the best guidance. For example, The Student Helpline, a reputable education consultancy, offers personalized guidance for students seeking education in various countries. Their team of experienced counselors helps students with course selection, university shortlisting, and the entire application process. 2. Check Their Track Record of Success Another important factor to consider is the consultant’s track record. Ask about their success rate with student placements in prestigious universities. Testimonials and reviews from previous clients can give you insight into the consultant's ability to deliver results. A high success rate in placing students in top-tier institutions suggests that the consultant has a good understanding of the admission processes and can guide students effectively. The Student Helpline has built a strong reputation for helping students secure admissions to top universities across the globe. Their comprehensive support has helped many students achieve their academic goals, making them a trusted partner in the study abroad journey. 3. Assess Their Range of Services A comprehensive Study Abroad Consultant should offer a wide range of services that go beyond just university applications. From visa counseling to pre-departure briefings, they should provide support at every stage of the process. Ensure that the consultant you choose offers services that align with your needs. Some consultants may also assist with accommodation arrangements, travel plans, and scholarship applications. The Student Helpline stands out in this regard by offering end-to-end services, including visa support, financial aid guidance, and even post-arrival services. Their holistic approach ensures that students feel supported throughout their entire study abroad experience. 4. Personalized Guidance for Academic Goals Every student has unique academic goals, so it's essential to find a Study Abroad Consultant that offers personalized guidance. A good consultant will take the time to understand your academic background, future aspirations, and career goals before recommending the right course and university for you. They should also be able to suggest alternative options if your initial choices don’t work out. At The Student Helpline, students receive tailored guidance based on their individual preferences and qualifications. The consultancy team takes the time to understand each student’s academic strengths and career objectives before crafting a personalized study plan. 5. Transparency and Ethical Practices Transparency is a critical factor when choosing a Study Abroad Consultant. You should ensure that the consultant is clear about their fees, services, and processes from the start. Some consultants may charge hidden fees or promise unrealistic outcomes to lure students in, so it’s essential to choose a consultant that operates with integrity. Reputed consultants like The Student Helpline follow transparent practices, offering students a clear breakdown of costs and services. Their ethical approach ensures that students receive honest guidance, avoiding false promises and unnecessary expenses. 6. Availability and Communication Effective communication is key when working with a Study Abroad Consultant. Ensure that your consultant is readily available to answer your questions and provide updates throughout the application process. Delayed responses or lack of communication can cause unnecessary stress during an already overwhelming time. The Student Helpline is known for maintaining open channels of communication, offering prompt responses and updates at every step. Their consultants are available to provide students with the clarity they need to make informed decisions about their study abroad plans. Conclusion Choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant is a significant decision that can influence the success of your international education journey. By evaluating their experience, track record, range of services, and ethical practices, you can make an informed choice that aligns with your academic goals. Reputed consultants like The Student Helpline can help you navigate the complex process of studying abroad and ensure that your dreams of an international education become a reality. By choosing wisely, you can maximize your chances of success and embark on a fulfilling academic journey overseas.    
    • To pass that pin, they could have done a hug. I think the whole scene seems made to arrive to the kiss (why is Gil-galad there but is not involved in treating? He should be the one to decide after all), so to cater to the romantic part of the audience (again, soap opera style) and to get negative reactions from who knows that it'd be sacrilege in this world.  As for the orcs, same as everything else - they want to add something revolutionary in that world but then immediately inconsistent. One scene orcs want to be loved, the next one savagely licking blood from knives (copied from LotR of course), then back to wanting love. It's like they didn't read the script they wrote.
    • Which is why I'm not reading the books, ever (because obviously he is never going to finish that). No problem with the shows though.
    • I honestly wonder how that can be done. Generally speaking, rider behaviour is most likely the first thing one would have to look at. So many bad falls due to riders just not paying attention, taking insane and often even unncessary risks or (hello Jay Vine) coming from the world of things like Zwift and therefore not having basic bike control skills.   There's of course also other things, like mass sprints on those super wide and straight roads.
    • They see dying to help Gaza like a honor of warriors they did what  they can  ...Hezbollah are paying their empathy by avoid  civilians ...enormous mistake                 
    • The terrorist Dick schoof is sending weapons to the terrorist Satanyahu    his name is Dick 
    • nothing related to the leader , their goal is to kill people and steal the land 
    • @Sindo Not to be annoying  But a page being full after 3 (!) posts surely isn't by design, but something not going entirely right in the forum software?     It was already honestly too little to have a new page every 10 posts, but every 3 is a bit much  
    • They infiltrate governements and use black magic  money and media to manipulate them , well done Satan 
    • Rumours are saying terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah may have been killed. Wouldn't be surprising, since yesterday's large attacks they have not made a single coherent statement, it's like all leadership is gone.
