well done Taftian, :yes 5th place is a great result for Iran with no history in sprint events.

 

despite this, he was 3rd among the Asians :d. damn China  :d:d

 

Asian Games will be interesting this year in the sprints! Taftian will have to fight it out with the Chinese and Japanese guys and maybe some bought Qatar/Bahrain athletes. The Japanese guys in particular are very young and could dominate Asian sprinting in the years to come.

yeah I know them, they rarely participate in Asian tournaments but I'm sure they will be there in Jakarta. Asian Games matters a lot for Asian athletes , that wll be a shame if Taftian fails to win a medal (while some weaker Iranian athletes had won medal in other events where the level is low in Asia)

 

Qatar and Bahrain can't buy someone new (Ogunode will be there of course) OCA has some strict rules about this, as far as I know you have to live in that country at least for 3 years to be eligible for the Asian Games.

Well, it will be hard for Taftian sadly, his 10.22 last year was tied 16th amongst Asian athletes in 2017 (behind 8 Japanese, 3 Chinese, a Korean, a Bahraini, a Qatari, a Taiwanese, and tied with another Japanese) and also barely ahead of athletes from Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Oman, and Kazakhstan. It should be the best quality Asian field for sprints amongst actual Asians in quite some time

of course no chance with 10.22 but last year wasn't good for him in general, he changed coach and apparently it took time for him to adopt with his new French coach's training system. he broke his PB (also NR) in 60m this year by a good margin, I guess we should expect him to do better in 100m too. if he breaks his NR of 10.04 I guess there is chance for a bronze at least.

I love this....After her win over 60m Muriel could not find a flag to do a lap of honour with so the Irish fans gave her one to celebrate with. She is one of ours now :)  :d

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
