every time I open the PDF drawsheet for a Taekwondo competition, I see another Iranian competing for somewhere else :d this time Ehsan Naghibzadeh for the refugee team !!! he even represented Iran in 2013 World Champs (and didn't medal)

 

and two other guys I was already aware of, Ali Noghandoost and Amir Hosseini. and if we count Dina Pouryounes. there are 4 Iranians competing for "refugee team" only in the first day of the competition :facepalm: I wonder how many others are waiting for the next 2 days.

 

I think if I start to count, there are something like 20 or maybe more Iranians representing other countries (or the refugee team) right now, and I'm not talking about people with Iranian heritage growing up in those countries. all of these guys raised in Iran and most (if not all) of them represented Iran at least in a Youth/Junior international competition. unbelievable ! and none of them are real "refugees" (they are lying opportunists) but if they are, Iran should be #1 country in term of "taekwondo athletes" right violation !! :d:facepalm: but this is disgusting WT is easily letting them to participate for the refugee team (some of them aren't refugees, not even on paper) and even sometimes steal medals from European athletes. :thumbdown:

 

but maybe this Naghibzadeh can do something good for his own country, if he beats Israel in the first round (it's funny, isn't it ?) he will face Achab (Belgium) in the second round, eliminating Achab will be a big favor to our 68kg Hosseini in the Olympic ranking. even though I don't think nowadays Naghibzadeh is any good but we will see.

all of those fake refugees lost in their first matches and it was funny this time Israel didn't show up against the Iranian athlete :d

 

Achab winning the gold was the worst possible news, but 63kg is weak in Europe and it was expected. let's see what Perez can do tomorrow, if he reaches the final that will put Hosseini out of top 6 :(

 

at 58, I think DellAquila secured his Olympic quota, in this weight, South Korea, Russia, Iran and Italy are safe.

Folks, what type of championship is this? I don’t think it’s a ‘European Championship’ as they’re usually every 2 years? The word extra there is throwing me. 
 

:IRL Jack Woolley is Ireland’s only really international class fighter here. Nice to see him medal from 4th seed

 

he just missed out on 2016 Olympics (losing in semi of final qualifier) but he’s been consistently in top 10 ranks since so fingers crossed

Taekwondo wasn't part of the European Games. so this is an EXTRA European Championship to make up for that in the World Ranking. in short this is not a real European Championship but a very important tournament for the World Ranking with 40pts up for grab for the gold medalists.

 

and one can say if European Taekwondo Union can't or don't want to put taekwondo into the European Games maybe they don't deserve to have a Grade-4 tournament instead.

    • How come there are 2 quotas for TPE and 1 for GBR?   And Jesus Brazil, if only they had been like "oh ok, we are on the U23 relay start list, sure, we will actually start and pick up 35 free points".   Deep, deep sigh.

    • Oh ya, that must have been a completely devastating result for them. The Olympic medal / Asian games gold medal exemption is just about the only socially acceptable way to skip military service in South Korea, and by all accounts South Korean military service *sucks*.
    • Highlights:   United States vs. Finland | 4 Nations Face-Off Highlights | February 13, 2025        
    • That's why the Korean curling team were what appears to be crying on the podium 
    • Cha Jun-hwan has won the men’s single in figure skating which means, importantly, military service exemption!
    • It's pretty cool all 5 sang along with the anthem
    • Philippines wins over South Korea 5-3 in men’s curling. Never thought I’d see the Philippines win a medal at the Asian Winter Games. And a gold medal too!
