MHSN 3,047 Posted November 9, 2018 #154 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Iran advanced to the bronze medal match in women's team Kumite. still pity they could beat Japan and go all the way to the final. but even bronze will be great. I assume they will be favorite against Spain but host nation is always dangerous. so at the end of the preliminaries. we have 3 chance for gold (Ganjzadeh and Askari in men's individual Kumite plus the team kumite). and 5 for bronze. (Poursheib and Derafshipour in men's individual Kumite, Bahmanyar in women's Ind. kumite, women's team Kumite and men's team Kata) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they already lose a European youth championships or something (and rightly so) because of refusing athletes to compete under their own flag? 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!

thepharoah 2,264 Posted November 9, 2018 #157 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Every country bans athletes from participating should be banned from organizing any further events in this sport , but i didn't know that there's a serious politicial problem between Spain and Kosovo that makes them don't show flags of Kosovo during medal ceremony in mediterranean games and now banning their athletes from participating , despite tge fact Kosovo has some very good talents in Karate that could have even won medals here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
