98 was scrapped for 94 kg a few months back, see page 1.

Iran participates in women's international sports wherever possible. in some sports you simply can't participate with those Islamic code dresses. and in some cases (like Judo) the international federation has some strict rules against it. (FIBA for example gave the green light only few years ago)
 
those sports not being able to participate internationally are at least active domestically (national championships etc) but Boxing and Wrestling aren't active at all. why ? I don't know,  nobody knows but I can guess.
 
I think when they were reviewing the sports one by one to reactivate them after the 1979 revolution. those super religious stupid guys decided that some sports are only masculine and women should never try them. (even for domestic competitions) some traditional sports like wrestling, weightlifting and boxing are among those banned sports.
after years and years of trying finally weightlifting managed to leave that black list. our new boxing federation also promised the same (no sign of that happening yet)
 
you may ask why Wushu, Muaythai or Kickboxing are active and boxing are not. those sports are probably more masculine  I can guess because they are newer sports, didn't exist in 1979 to get the initial "No". with this stupid regime when something gets a No, it's just hard to change it. 
 
I know it doesn't make sense. it's stupid.

I see Iranian women in Wushu and Taekwondo so boxing and wrestling should have started right?
 
Are they some rules which hinder it?

ISU stated that no appeals allowed - yes - but no appeals allowed from russians.

And in any case the result of this torunament does not mean that Petrosian will get her Olympic ticket right now.

The IOC established special board which will decide if russian athletes who "got quotas" are eligible for the Olympics. The system is the same as the one for Paris-2024. And we remember how many athletes illegally allowed by the IFs were later thrown away by the IOC.

(I do not say that Petrosian will be stripped of the quota for certain, but to remind that all russian quotas are provisional and the "next in the row" athletes must be ready for the action too)

 

I'm excited for this event. 
 
Adelia Petroshian, Loena Hendricks, Gubanova, Carillo and the North Korean pairs skaters are my top favourite.

She was the only fighter, who was at a high and consistent level for all competition. Even the first round today, in my opinion, should win. But note that the competition in the 57kg category is quite weak: many good girls from previous years have left: Puerto Rico, Taiwan, our own Irma. The question is whether they will return or whether someone else – a stronger one – will step in to take their place.

"heats"  My english sucks.

I find it very entertaining to see the times for individual laps over 3/5/10k, but I think it's a very technical sport. Honestly, I really like it, but it's a matter of taste, obviously.

I like the current events, but maybe it would be cool to have an elimination race like in track cycling for the endurance athletes 
 
Never really thought about it though 

Mediterranean Games?  (Obv, in winter we’ll have the Olympics)

Assuming my personal calendar is up to date, there's a break until October. The Central American Games and Asian Youth Games due up next.
 
October 18 October 30 Central American Games October 22 October 31 Asian Youth Games November 7 November 21 Islamic Solidarity Games November 15 November 26 Summer Deaflympics November 22 December 7 Bolivarian Games December 9 December 20 SEA Games  
The next edition of the African Youth Games might also be in December, but I can only find limited information about it. 

I think that list would be my list of sports for the games.
