by looking at the men's results, we sent almost all of our world team candidates here as a kind of trial for them. they won all lower 4 weights gold medals ! beside that only Mardani came back with a bronze in super heavyweight. I guess most of our "veterans" like Asbaghi, Hajji-Z and Mardani have to say goodbye and just retire. this is time for the new generation. some of them like Yaghoubi and Hadipour are really fun to watch.

 

After the notorious "Olympic disaster" Iran men's taekwondo program went trough turmoil and they changed the whole thing. Khodabakhshi lost here and I don't think he can be the same "Champion" again. Ashourzadeh after losing to Morocco at the Olympics came back to the competition once again but had to withdraw because of Israel draw ! the same Israeli guy we were afraid to meet him in Rio ! he is still very young to be considered done but it will be a mammoth task for him to comeback after what happened in Rio, he went from being a hero to zero in just one second of carelessness. :cry:

 

beside that Milad Beigi continued his impressive run, if I'm not wrong in past 2 years he lost only and only one match (Olympic semifinal), the was exactly the only single match I wanted him to win to keep our athlete alive for the bronze medal repechage. :d

Thanks for reminding me, if he had won that match I would have won like 300 euros and if he had won the final after that I would have won like 2500 euros :lol:

:d I see that was quite a loss for you. that was logical bet, Beigi was clear favorite in Rio but after beating his archrival and former compatriot in quarterfinal, our taekwondo federation president called him and his coach traitor, don't want to go more into details and apparently those conversations had negative affects on him few minutes later in the semifinal, that was stupid since his loss also eliminated Iran's chance for at least a bronze medal.

 

personally I'm not into betting or even prediction contests . because I prefer to enjoy the competition. I mean I knew Beigi is the clear favorite against our guy (or anybody else) but that was hard to bet/predict against our own athlete.

 

btw since Iranian athletes usually don't stay on top for so many years, I expect Beigi to start getting weaker soon :d hopefully. :pope:

Well I remember the first odds for Beigi to win gold were around 40 (!) and they later dropped to 15, which still seemed incredibly high after all I had heard about him hear, so I have no regrets about the bet :p 

 

I hope for 2020 another 'unkown' athlete is really strong and bookmakers forget about him again :p

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
