Reza Alipour was the defending Champion but since that day in 2018 he never won a race and lots of guys (specially from China and Indonesia) surpassed his World Record. I would gave him a very slim chance for bronze but he won the gold. it seems when you train hard, luck also comes your way  it was the best moment of the Games for me so far (hard to pick between this and Table Tennis win over Japan)

The race for the 4th spot in the medal table is heating up!

 

Iran have a lot of gold medals to look forward to while India, Uzbekistan, Taipei, and Thailand are very close.

 

Who do you predict will take the 4th Spot? 🫡

Still remembered back then when I saw Reza Alipour on the screen, I just close the stream since there’s basically no chance to win

 

I guess he’s still got that dominating aura, since his last two opponents slipped today

 that's exactly what our TV commentator kept telling during the competition. "his opponents are falling because of him, it's not easy to race alongside him " 

 

if that's the case I don't know why it didn't work in any other tournament since 2018 AG

I assumed he had retired. He’s pretty much been absent from the top flight of the sport since the pandemic (as you pointed out). I was absolutely stunned to see him win the gold medal. You could see how much it meant to him.

 

 needs to invest in a good sports psychologist for Leonardo and Katibin
