Which one could translate as 'Did Not Stand' but I guess it's more likely to mean she Did Not Start obviously you don't get injured in Archery. so how come someone can win a match but then 5 minutes later withdraw from the next round ! I'm waiting for Iranian officials claiming she got robbed of a medal by Indonesia (and they won't mention Korea=elimination was next for her ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but it's not like it looks like something shady from the organizers 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!

Nemati because of her life story is somehow famous in Iran and news about her is somehow considered as important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,047 Posted August 23, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) update on Nemati's situation. that wasn't organizers fault but Iranian stupid officials fault ! after Round of 32 match they told her to go for lunch since her next match will be in 2 hours ! and when she was leaving the area another Iranian archer came and told her to come back which was late because she couldn't get into the place in time on a wheelchair.

Gianlu33 3,546 Posted August 23, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Easy victory for the two time World champion Kang Chae Young (#1) against Cao Hui (#9). Sadly an 8 in the last round compromised the result for the chinese. Next match is Zhang - Tan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianlu33 3,546 Posted August 23, 2018 #19 Share Posted August 23, 2018 That's what a nice match ... after a perfect round (30 points) Zhang (#5) had some trubles, but she reached to win in the last round against Tan (#4), one of the best athletes in this years and bronze olympic medallist in the team event.

MHSN 3,047 Posted August 23, 2018 #20 Share Posted August 23, 2018 this Nemati story completely overshadowed everything here, and made all the headlines. it's not like we missed a medal chance but losing like this is unbelievable and as I said Nemati is somehow famous here. sometimes I think a bunch of random guys from the streets can handle these things better than these stupid officials.
