South Korea will even bring Son Heung-min ! obviously he wants to win the gold to avoid military service. the same rules exist in Iran too.

 

Does this rule apply to all Iranian athletes? In which sports and which competitions winning a gold allows them to skip military service?

Yes in all sports. winning the Gold medal in Asian Games or winning a medal of any color in the Olympics + winning gold or silver in World Championships will allow them to skip the military service. I believe that World Championship part only applies to Olympic sports.

 

so only AG, Olympics and the World Championship count and in this case in Jakarta only gold medalists will have that privilege . but this mostly helps younger athletes. because when you are 26-27 or older you already had to deal with the military service.  last time in Incheon Iran won 21 gold medals by 32 athletes (20 individual + 12 volleyball team member) but only 3 of 4 of them used the rule. for the rest that was already late.

If I’m not mistaken the first football matches are on Friday? Still waiting on live streaming, entries, results, and calendar; but were only 9 days out!!!

You can view the results/schedule and athletes sections on the website. Another Games another terrible results website.

interesting that China registered a full team for the Weightlifting competition

They are supposed to be banned like Kazakhstan ! how come they have a team here ?! (even though registering doesn't necessarily mean they are going to participate)
