MHSN

it's probably the first time the NT plays a home match on Nowruz (technically 7 hours after the Nowruz) but no that had nothing to do with the accident. that was power failure or something like that. and Iran scored the first goal on 45+27 minute btw this win 99.99% made Iran qualify for the World Cup.

watching the IOC session yesterday it was like Chinese communist party, everybody praising the dictator and trying to kiss a part of his body. it was like he invented the Olympic himself. very disgusting. of course such result was expected after that.

Say hello to the mixed eight event https://worldrowing.com/2025/03/17/rowing-enters-a-new-era-with-key-innovations-for-the-classic-rowing-discipline/ does it mean they are going to drop M8+ and W8+ or what ? looks like we are having another mixed event in beach sprint rowing so I assume it makes sense to drop those 2 events to keep the same number of 14 events for 2028.

3 out of 6 50% accuracy that's Ali Momeni, Amir Hossein Zare and Alireza Mohmadi. this is how we know them

Really shocking news apparently from the heart attack at the age of 49 he was a 3 time Olympic Champion. couple of wrestlers have more/better medals but he was always considered as the most technical wrestler of all time. always fun to watch

that was just OK, some good results mixed with some disappointing results. our top wrestlers (2024 Olympic/World medalists) were exempt here but still it was an important part of our trials for the 2025 World Championships and this tournament made it clear that we are weak in certain weights. our trial system is so complicated, something like rocket science , very hard to understand

11th actually and now

no it wasn't they must really hate this sport in China

maybe just having fun ? not just them, Afghan and Qatari athletes did the same. but yeah at least these NOCs sent just 1 tourist to be in the list. weird to send 4 tourists

The slopestyle event looks very competitive half the snowboarders simply go to the finish line without a single jump or something

IHF should ban Denmark for the next World Championship , playing against this team is not a fair fight. they are just too good

it's really hard for OCA to find a host for the Asian Winter Games. no game in 2021, even 2025 Harbin was announced relatively very late. (only 1.5 years ago) OCA even accepted Saudi Arabia's crazy bid to host the 2029 event in middle of a desert! (at least on paper that looks crazy) therefore it's totally up to the host country to pick the events. this is really bad for the event's prestige but I assume OCA had no other option.

apparently our NOC rejected the winter sport federation request to send a bigger delegation. they published a list of just 14 athletes. 8 in CC skiing, 2 in Alpine and 4 in SkiMo. equal number of male and female athletes in each sport.

and apparently the knockout round will be the same as the men's tournament one team from Pool A and H => semifinal the same from B & G and then C/F and D/E it's highly possible to see JPN/SRB, ITA/POL, CHN/BRA and USA/TUR in the quarterfinal. only few teams are capable of upsetting those teams. it's a great format that you can even predict the quarterfinalists

I wonder if anybody in the world cares about the team ranking in weightlifting but our federation does in past 10-12 years Iran lost so many medals because of this. most of our weightlifters start (mostly in CJ) with a very low weight (usually the minimum they can because of the entry record) to make sure they have a total and get some ranking points for the team and then jump something like 10 kilos for the medal. it usually kills their medal chance. I believe we could win the gold at 96, silver at 109 and a medal (not sure what color) at 102kg but lost them because of this super stupid strategy. IWF commentators always laugh at Iranian weightlifters and their weird weigh selection strategy. it was an OKish tournament for the Iranian team. winning 1 silver and 3 bronze is not great but not bad either. Yousefi and Davoudi both making their last attempts and kicking that piece of crap Bahraini mercenary out of the podium made my day. unfortunately Yousefi is weak in Snatch to be a treat for the total gold medal. but he lifted 262 in CJ yesterday, I believe only few weightlifters in history did that before. it looked like he might be capable of lifting 268 which will be the best CJ lift ever.
