Today Iran cheated against India in Para archery mixed compound semifinal.

 

India has won by 1 point. But mysteriously one 9 pointer arrow from Iran was upgraded to 10. 

 

India lost the subsequent shoot off by virtue of closest arrow to the bull's eye.20240902_221206.jpg

How does that make the Iranian archers "cheats"? The officials make these decisions not the competitors.

I didn't say archers. I said Iran cheated. The team who marked the arrow head during score verification . Even digital scoring systems graphically put it as 9.

I was watching the badminton final between the french and british guy (won by the former)

 

I don't think I ever seen such sportmanship in defeat like Krysten Coombs showed us tonight. That was fantastic to see.

 

And kudos to the winner Charles Noakes obviously :yes

You seem to be very confused. The scores are determined by the independent officials not the competitors or those associated with them. You've accused the Iranians of cheating but haven't explained exactly how they did this. The officials may have got it wrong but that's not the fault of the Iranians.

Ironically they were born within 60 miles of each other as Noakes is from south-east England like Coombs.

      Sinner destroyed Baez and we are still alive If I were Volandri, I would have Sinner and Berrettini play in the doubles.

      Fewer people do do this sport compared to the 90s, less money is spent on it, etc. In the case of women, at some point this sport was almost abandoned because of the belief that it was impossible to beat Scandinavia ( the times of Norwegian domination with Bjoergen and Johaug at the forefront). Only in the last 2 years has Markus Cramer been hired, who is gradually rebuilding the men's and women's teams. Suffice it to say that the last medalist of the World Championships for Italy in the women's was Arianna Follis in 2011... I will also remind you that in 2022 Pellegrino and de Fabiani trained with the Russian team, because the rest of the Italian team was in such poor shape that they couldn`t train together

      Well that is a totally different question  I too have wondered what happened to Italian cross-country and how there is no one coming for so many years. But it shouldn't take away from the sports where progress has been made.

      Appetite grows with eating. Especially since it's not like we develop in every winter sport... For example, 20 years ago we were a powerhouse in cross-country skiing and now we have only 1 Pellegrino (34 age) and a few talented youngsters. And let's remember that our performance in Turin was objectively weak for us: only 11 medals in total. Now, when I hear that we will to win 2O+, some discipline must definitely add medals and also compensate for the losses in cross-country skiing, for example.

      The problem is that this mixed team has never played together since then. There was talk of personal obstacles. I don't know how it`s now.

      Well that explains why she is wearing more clothes with every passing day.   Nevertheless that team is still one of the best in the world and is a vast improvement on what Italy was doing 10-20 years ago.

      Constantinis team have made huge improvements since 2022 even if they are not best yet. And Constantini never was world leading in mixed doubles before Beijing olympic either so it is not like she really have lost anything since 2022 either, except not being able to repeat that success.

      She had health problems yesterday. Nevertheless, after the gold in mixed doubles with Mosaner in 2022, I counted a bit more on her development. I still think that the biggest chance for us in 2026 will be the mixed team, rather than our teams.
