:facepalm: What is you opinion about this guy Silla?

 

He is really tall and dangerous, he has chance for medal, actually this weight is more unpredictable among men's weights, there are something like 8=9 guys with good chances for medal. Silla is one of them. his height is his biggest advantage.

 

but watch out for this guy from Niger is probably the biggest treat in this weight. I'm glad our Mardani won't face him in early rounds. (msot probably he has to face Kazakhstan)

How about Achab in 68? :p 

 

I noticed a huge difference between the odds on two bookmakers...one have odds of only around 6 for him (meaning he's among the 4-5 favorites), whereas another one gives 51 euro/dollar/pound for every euro/dollar/pound you bet on him to win gold.. 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

well, you can't ignore him but all of his achievements were in 63kg, and not the Olympic wight of 68 ! he only qualified by points he collected in 63kg events,

he is a very dirty fighter, very disgusting. ALWAYS try to show fake injuries and give penalties to his opponents. I don't follow this weight as much as the rest (since Iran didn't qualify narrowly) but I think Lee Dae-hoon is top favorite here, with Tazegul and Denisenko behind him. I think the real competition in this weight will be between those 6 who qualified through ranking. I think considering him among 4-5 favorites is more logical even though I don't give him so much chance for gold.

Thanks again, especially what you say about his style is interesting, I'll pay attention to him if any of the streams show taekwondo during the Olympics.
