I was checking some stats and Ehsan Haddadi is only the 2nd athlete in history of Asian Games to win the same event 4 times in a row ! (Shigenobu Murofushi won hammer throw 5 times in a row) and considering Haddadi's age, at least one more AG is possible for him. of course Svetlana Radizvil can makes it 4 next time. that was her 3rd title.

 

but this was the first time Ehsan crying after winning the gold. which was a very easy win actually. he had tough situations in past 2-3 years. he almost went to jail before Rio Olympics. had so many surgeries. lost his coach etc. I lost respect for him because of those charges but maybe he was innocent after all . the final verdict never made it into the news. but he is a true patriot and that's why I like him. he had some nice Persian poems about Iran written on his shirt in today's competition.
