MHSN 3,047 Posted November 7, 2018 #353 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Sohrab will start with a modest 180kg in snatch,(which is a correct decision) I was thinking if he was Armenian (or if he was Rostami) he would start with 200kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,500 Posted November 7, 2018 #354 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Who should I be cheering for, Tian Tao or Moradi? Moradi has clear penalty points for being a convicted doper and another penalty point for being unfairly treated (in a good way for him) by the IWF president, so the decision will have to be made based on their personality. @MHSN Is Moradi a decent guy worth cheering for? @Function CR Lee Same question about Tian Tao 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!

phelps 6,536 Posted November 7, 2018 #358 Share Posted November 7, 2018 1 ora fa, MHSN ha scritto: the number of positive tests for Iran is between 10 and 20. so Iran can qualify 2 male and 2 female for Rio. while they started women's weightlifting but this is toooo early for them to even think about the qualification. and believe me our federation is very stupid to have a long term plan like that, they made so many mistakes like this. even here they made a mistake and 3 weightlifters (at least one of them was a clear medal chance ) missed the competition because they didn't know they have to register names at least 3 months before the competition (for doping reasons etc) . I strongly doubt they know the details of qualification system. I will try to contact some of those missing weightlifters to make sure they know the rules. I believe it will be Moradi and Alihosseini for Tokyo but still 2 years is a long time and who knows what will happen. PS: Sohrab Moradi almost missed Rio because of another stupid mistake. instead of 2 yeasr, he served almost 30 months ban for his doping case and only made it to Rio because of special permission from Ajan himself to let him participate at the Pan-Am Championship. interesting to know that they started women's program... maybe one day they will be as good as the men are nowadays..

Yeah I remember there was a boycott and a big fight within Iranian weightlifting, but I thought Moradi was on the same side as Salimi and Rostami (?) who I believe you once told are kinda arrogant pieces of trash, hence my question Well Moradi actually being a nice guy doesn't make this easier Alright, hoping for an awesome fight then 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!
