Taekwondo WTF World Championships 2017

Obame wow what a comeback. Impressive!

[MHSN 3,625]

now it's obvious that the "Olympic disaster" wasn't just an accident. there is something wrong with our Taekwondo ! they have great players, good coaches, good preparation. I just can't understand what's wrong ?!

today they even lost badly, not even close ! Mardani had hard time against Kazakhstan before losing to Mahama Cho ! and only 40-50 days ago our 4th tier athlete beat this Kazakh guy quite easily. we have depth in this sport probably more than any other country but for whatever reason our top athletes can't deliver results !

 

no chance for Erfanian, which means Hosseini tomorrow is our last chance to do something here. we have kimia in the last day but she was injured the whole year and didn't participate in a single match after Rio, I don't consider her a medal favorite this time.

Oh what a final for Zeliha Ağrıs, she is just 19 and a world champion now. Despite of the disaster we have seen with Servet Tazegül, Turkey has 2 golds now and in 62 kg 1st ranked İrem Yaman will be competing. We might even have 3 golds after all.

Matijasevic retired after match against Mandic. Oh noooo

 

She was part of one of strongest Croatian female team. Probably strongest in Europe. Sumic, Zubcic, sisters Zaninovic. All of them were great.

Did she switch from Croatia to Macedonia? And after this match you mean she finished her career?

Not only that, apparently we also have a new user from Turkey, that's reason to celebrate! 

 

I don't know taekwondo that well but after the semi's I was convinced Kudashova would win the gold, and during the final as well, until Agris came back 

 

Walkden - Galloway was a disappointing final, but Agris - Kudashova and Jeong - Artamonov were really a whole lot of fun

Yes, we are like China in table tennis.

Yes, this was her last match and it was very emotional after the match. I thought that she cried because she lost, but not. Reason is that she retired.
