58kg is really important for me ! I hope all those top 3 seeds fail to qualify (at least only one of them qualifies) but this is very unlikely, Guzman from top half and either Pie or Oviedo from the bottom half will qualify , still I hope for a miracle here.

 

do anybody here know why I have such a weird wish ?

Exactly

 

Only those 3 guys are higher than Attias of Israel in the world ranking, at the moment out of qualified athletes only two of them are lower than him and one of them is behind by only 4 points, if Farzan losses his top spot (which I'm afraid will happen since he won't compete at the Asian Championship) and this Israeli guy losses another spot in the ranking ,then ....

If the worst scenario happen maybe is time that Iran break this ridiculos rule......it is possible gold medal

Iran has previously given up a gold medal to avoid going up against Israel so I doubt it would change now. The only way I can see it happening would be if the athlete goes against the wishes of the nation.

At that point he might as well never go back to Iran, from what I hear about their culture

Not possible, no way

 

the only solution is sending Armin Hadipour (rank 16) instead of Farzan. but I'm not sure where is the deadline for registration. before knowing the July Ranking or after ?! let's hope Guatemala and Aruba qualify here
