Zabihollah Poursheib wrote something on his instagram , that's very long but the main point is this line This is very unfair, very cruel, the history should remember that the second place in Olympic Ranking didn't qualify for the Olympics.

I think porn websites are blocked in most (and maybe even all) Muslim countries, in this matter they are all the same, strict or not. but of course as you know blocking a website doesn't stop people from reaching it. here almost everybody knows how to find a way to unblock websites. ps: internet is almost free these days here, (at least until last night, I don't know how does it work in the new year) to encourage younger generation to stay at home, the internet speed is not great because of that, ICT minister asked people to use internet during the day and not only in peak time. but then some people started making jokes about it saying something like "you can't tell us when to watch porn during the day "

actually I'm surprised that porn websites are blocked in China ! why China should block them ? that's usually for Muslim countries.

until few days ago I was against any change in the schedule but now I think this is impossible to have the games this summer . this is just starting in some other countries and coronavirus problem won't be solved before July. it's not only about Japan but 200 other countries and more than 20000 people traveling to Japan for the Games. and I think IOC has to postpone it as soon as possible. because some athletes are risking their health training in these situation. in some countries there is no place to train properly these days. yes for some football or tennis players Olympic doesn't matter much, they can boycott it but for most amateur athletes Olympic is everything and they will participate no matter what

no. it's not a sure thing that a free spot remains available in this weight after they give the continental quotas. it's very complicated actually. it depends on who qualifies in the last chance qualifier.

Things changed very quickly in past few weeks. I think two months ago nobody expected us to be in this situation right now, I was reading some news, interviews and reactions from February and this one caught my attention this is from 31 January. Wilbur Ross says Coronavirus could boost US jobs

according to highway Police yesterday at the start of "holidays" there were more than a million cars (to be accurate 1,112,000) on the roads between cities. 50% decrease comparing to the same time last year but still that's huge which means something like 3 or 4 millions had traveled in one day. yayyy . long live Corona

WKF announced the list of Qualified athletes so far https://www.wkf.net/news-center-new/meet-karates-first-qualified-athletes-for-tokyo-2020/1256 while we knew it already, the most interesting part is the Japanese names. all high ranked Japanese athletes in each category are qualified . not sure if it was mandatory by WKF or that was Japan's selection criteria.

that's true but that's for the hospitals. I meant about things people buy in their daily lives . we heard a lot about these kind of problems before and some cities being over their medical capacities but not really in past few days, I wonder if it's a good sign or they just getting used to the situation and prefer to not complain.

Today was the last work day of the year in Iran, we are going into 15 days of "holiday" from tomorrow. the government made it clear that a lockdown (like what we see in Europe and the rest of the word) is not an option here. I hope these holidays help the situation but then that's a sure thing most people don't just stay at home. there will be lots of traveling, partying etc. last night in traditional "Charshanbeh-souri" night people were dancing and jumping on the streets like any other year. and today the official death toll passed 1000 I assume the real number is higher, probably something like 50% . as I said before they don't test everybody because they are limited to something like 6000-8000 tests per day. one surprising thing about Iran is there is almost no shortage for anything. maybe except face mask which still you can find if you search a bit more. and the genius president Rouhani in his last speech of the year was proud of that ! it was like finding one good thing among 100000 bad things and brag about that Rouhani is making himself the most unlikeable person in the country. the extremists always hated him and now his supporters also hate him too. bottom line, it seems since we can't beat coronavirus anytime soon, we are making friend with it ! I can see more people are just adjusting their lives with it. they wear masks but still do what they always do in their normal life. just less touching, and hand shaking is completely erased from everybody's memory.

masks don't help yourself but help others if you are infected. so it's not a bad idea but I think for most people as heywoodu said it's about just feeling safe. I can say here half people are wearing masks all the time. while some of them are not careful about other things ,for example touching that mask with unwashed hands !

personally I think if they can't have the last OQT in France (or anywhere else) that means the situation is still very bad in May and I don't think we will have the Olympics in July. and if they postpone the Olympics itself, there will be enough time to have all these qualifiers. but in case they want to count the ranking to qualify 3 more athletes per weight, this will be the list of qualifiers it will be good for Egypt, Turkey and Kazakhstan, interestingly Turkey will have a full 8 member team ! Men's Kata: + Men's 67kg: + Men's 75kg: + Men's +75kg: + Women's Kata: Women's 55kg: + Women's 61kg: + Women's +61kg: +

yeah that was a sad news but he is fine himself. actually apparently this is not "new", nobody just knew that until yesterday. he confirmed it today but saying "I'm fine, just stay at home and wash your hands" he is very popular here but still I'm quite sure nobody listens to that "stay at home" advise most of our top wrestlers come from Northern provinces (next to Caspian Sea) which is now hit badly by coronavirus. (worse than any other place in the country, only after Qom) that was a terrible idea sending them "home"

Actually no you didn't tell me the reason, I assumed maybe you think the world began at 2008 actually I don't mind the file size. I would even go to a library full of coronavirus to make digital copy myself yes Chinese Taipei NOC is probably a good one, never contacted them myself. because they never host those I'm interested in.

we are talking about two different things, I'm mostly looking for old reports, (and you told me you are interested in games after 2008) no computer at the time, most of them are "books" and someone had to turn then into PDF (apparently nobody did) I'm sure the Iranian NOC has most of those old reports but they are not in PDF, they are hard copies . I had been to Iran NOC academy library, probably few metres away from them but they didn't let me enter. because I had to be a national athlete or I need some kind of paper from one of sport federations but recent reports are probably more available at least there is more chance for that, I contacted Thailand NOC about 2005 Asian Indoor Games, they said sorry we don't have it. but wait a minute it seems there are some PDF left in our computer and they sent me some incomplete reports (at least they tried to help which I appreciate)

lol I do that a lot. I mean A LOT , the best answer I received was from Thailand NOC, and it was mostly " sorry we can't help you" (even though they also sent some PDFs.) most of them don't even answer back specially Iranians ps: I usually ask for older reports , so not getting a positive answer is probably more expected

and this is how continental quotas stand for now Men's Kata: Men's 67kg: Men's 75kg: Men's +75kg: Women's Kata: Women's 55kg: Women's 61kg: Women's +61kg: here is the detailed list, only athletes in bold are qualified right now. others are next in line Oceania - Men Tsuneari Yahiro (75kg) Oceania - Women Alexandra Anacan (Kata) Kristina Mah (61kg) Africa - Men Ali El-Sawy (67kg) Abdalla Abdelaziz (75kg) Ahmed Shawky (Kata) Adnane El-Hakimi (Kata) Africa - Women Feryal Abdelaziz (+61kg) Radwa Sayed (55kg) Btissam Sadini (61kg) Sarah Sayed (Kata) America - Men Thomas Scott (75kg) Brian Irr (+75kg) Andres Madera (67kg) Joaquin Gonzalez (67kg) Daniel Gaysinsky (+75kg) America - Women Alexandra Grande (61kg) Valeria Kumizaki (55kg) Tanya Rodriguez (+61kg) Maria Dmitrova (Kata) Asia - Men Daniyar Yuldashev (+75kg) Yermek Ainazarov (75kg) Dastonbek Otabolaev (75kg) Sadriddin Saymatov (67kg) Asia - Women Gong Li (+61kg) Rozita Alipour (61kg) Sofya Berultseva (+61kg) Li Ranran (55kg) Fatemeh Sadeghi (Kata) Europe - Men Kalvis Kalnins (67kg) Asiman Gurbanli (+75kg) Firdovsi Farzaliyev (67kg) Mario Hodzic (67kg) Europe - Women Silvia Semeraro (+61kg) Bettina Plank (55kg) Anita Serogina (61kg) Laura Palacio (+61kg) Ivet Goranova (55kg) ------------------------------ from the list above only the following athletes are 100% guaranteed a spot even if they fail to qualify directly . for the rest anything is possible. if anybody in that list qualifies directly that changes the order completely. for example if Egypt qualifies at 67kg, the African quota goes to 75kg and that will ruin USA's chance at this weight. Men's 75kg Women's Kata Men's 67kg Women's +61kg another example, if Gong Li qualifies directly, Asian quota goes to Alipour (61kg) , European quota goes to Italy instead of Austria. then the 3rd African quota will go to a male athlete from Morocco in Kata therefore the last American quota will be a female which will be Brazil. that was an example to show one athlete can makes change for 4 more !

Yes, that's what WKF said earlier. so the following countries qualified for Tokyo Men's Kata: Men's 67kg: Men's 75kg: Men's +75kg: Women's Kata: Women's 55kg: Women's 61kg: Women's +61kg:

well Iran didn't participate at the World Championship focusing on the continental events, and both Iranian single sculls rowers are Asian gold medalist, that will be a huge disappointment for them, as far as I know despite the situation those 2 + plus their coach put themselves in quarantine, (kind of a prison) to train full time for this. I hope they consider continental championships

again no final, someone withdrew in all of 6 finals, while all of bronze medal matches happened except that one including Arthur who was really injured. I understand when experienced famous wrestlers withdrew, there is nothing more to learn for them but tonight almost all underdogs withdrew from the final. Ambrocio didn't bother to wrestle in the final. that would be good experience for him losing 10-0 to David Taylor this is the number of quotas at the end of the competition 11 10 4 3 2 2 1 1 1 1 USA now has 15 quotas, it will be hard for them to win anything more in Greco but Retherford or Diakomihalis (or whoever else they send ) will be one of the favorites for 65kg quota. Cuba also has 12, it will be hard for them to add to that number but they have a chance in the last QT at 57kg and also 86kg freestyle.

free quota for Peru as expected, Artur didn't even show up. he was just there to ruin Baez's chance but I guess Argentina doesn't care anymore.

wow ! wow what a win for Argentina. it seems you really can't be 100% sure about anything in sports Retherford really underestimated his opponent , made a dumb mistake and the Argentinian used his chance, probably his only chance in that match. what a pleasant surprise

our friend had wrestled at the Pan American Championship few days ago , it was round robin with 5 wrestlers, which means you can watch him 4 times even though the total time is still less than one wrestling match he is not facing Jordan Burroughs or Rashid Saulaev , his opponents are also not that good but everything he does is 100% wrong he is not just "weak" he doesn't even know a thing about wrestling, I really think he doesn't know he should not be in on his back

57kg: Tigreros Gilman 65kg: Valdes Retherford 74kg: Gomez Garzon 86kg: Taylor Ambrocio 97kg: Salas Steen 125kg: Dhesi Gwiazdowski most of them are easy predictions, I'm 99% sure about 57 and 125 quotas. also Retherford and Salas.

I think UWW usually uploads matches after a day or two. but specially that 74kg was amazing, he didn't know basic things about how to even stand on the mat, that 86kg didn't had enough time to "shine" he got pinned very quick but I think he was a bit better, at least not his first time on a mat
