Farzan most probably will face the Thai guy in the first round How do you see Kimia Alizadeh's chances for gold? I know she's a huge talent, but it's impossible for me to say what kind of chances she has.. (asking because I just saw the first bookmaker betting odds for the taekwondo events) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

(asking because I just saw the first bookmaker betting odds for the taekwondo events) She has chance for medal, even Gold, she already beat both Jones and Calvo, she won one of Grand Prix events but she is still too young and winning Iran's first ever medal at the Olympics put a lot of pressure on her shoulder. beside that from what I noticed she gasses easily after few matches. by my calculations, she will face either Hamada (JPN) and the host nation girl and the other one in quarterfinal, I will be happy with a bronze and expect a bronze for her, Gold is too much to ask, heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he's growing quite a lot (he's still young) and it's causing more and more problems. Didn't have a fight in his weight class since December and it looks like it's a very realistic option that he won't be going to Rio. Salaheddine Bensaleh seems to be in sight as a possible replacement.. Or maybe he should eat less candy. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I can imagine it is indeed hard to stay at your weight when you're a growing teenager, I doubt he's the first one with this problem..

His chance is more than good ! Actually I consider him the second (or even maybe the number 1) favorite for the gold in Rio. he is just destroying everybody, he was in much better shape than Khodabakhshi in past few months but still we have 2-3 months left and I expect our guy to peak at the right time. I just hope Iranian coaches know few tricks about how to beat him , btw on other hand his coach is also Iranian (former coach of Iran NT) which makes things even ! also I have to name this CIV guy Cisse, he is as dangerous as Beigi. actually Iranian coaches are very concerned about him. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
