The ends justifies the means that's OK. you can ask as much as you want. Radio Farda is almost a credible website. I watch their TV sometimes. but I use the word "almost" because they also exaggerate things and say nonsense sometimes. they are part of USA program of shoving "democracy" into people's throat everywhere the article is most probably accurate unfortunately. but it's not because of "Defying Compulsory Hijab". it's because of promoting that, encouraging others to do that etc. I don't know what's the penalty for "not having hejab". but usually they just tell you to "correct your hejab" even though hejab in Iran is different, most women just put something to cover half of their hair or something. but if you resist them and some girls do that these days, there is a good chance for detention . first time probably nothing. 2nd time they will call your dad or your husband to come and sign a paper "promising not repeating that" but if you do this repeatedly. there will be some bad penalties I'm not aware. but it's very rare to put someone in jail because of that. for these women, they consider it something political. that's why the penalty is way too harsh. but of course it doesn't mean they will stay in jail for that long. they will be out of that in less than a year most probably. but for some reasons I can't feel sympathy with those women. most of them are not really into freedom or democracy. they just want to make a case for themselves. go to jail for a short period. make it public, and then they ask for asylum in a European country. then they will become "opposition" and become "political expert" in one of those so many Persian language TVs outside of Iran (one of them is this Radiofarda) and tell people "Islamic Republic" is a bad thing. and Iran was like heaven during the former dictator before 1979 revolution. that's the routine. it happened for SO MANY people and they are all working in those TV channels. of course I maybe wrong and maybe they really believe in what they are doing and in this case I have maximum respect for them, there are some rare examples you know sometimes I think I sound like someone who support the current system in Iran but that's not true, I just try to answer your questions in a neutral way.

medalists 1st medal of Greco-Roman 48kg: 1) Dehbozorgi, 2) Babashov, 3) Kamaliyev & Rupin 55kg: 1) Mammadli, 2) Patil, 3) Mirzorajabov & Atabaev 65kg: 1) Bonka, 2) Ochilov, 3) Khachikyan & Toesmagi 80kg: 1) Aliekseieiev, 2) Lupasco, 3) Sailau & Nazaryan 110kg: 1) Mikaeili, 2) Kurdyan, 3) Gokadze & Bazso we finished this session 2-2. both defeats against Armenia , in bronze medal matches, but Iranians won both finals.

finals for 2nd day of Greco 45kg: Bakhramov vs Izimgali 51kg: Esmaeili vs Aliyev 60kg: Ilbars vs Skuratov 71kg: Starodubtsev vs Saki 92kg: Valiyev vs Evloev Russia made up for the first day by having 3 finalists, but still they are far behind Iran in race for the team title. their other two wrestlers got eliminated. not a bad day for Iran with 2 finalists, but we lost both of our head to head matches to Russia. the other defeat to Kazakhstan at 45kg was expected, this Kazakh kid is something special.

Second day Greco-Roman semifinalists 45kg: vs / vs 51kg: vs / vs 60kg: vs / vs 71kg: vs / vs 92kg: vs / vs once again 4 in the semifinals for Iran but this time it will be much harder. 3 of them will wrestle against 2019 European gold medalist and the other one will be up against a very impressive Kazakh Asian Champion. I think none of our wrestlers are favorite to win the semifinal !

finals for first day of Greco, 10 wrestlers from 8 different countries and none from Russia 48kg: Dehbozorgi vs Babashov 55kg: Patil vs Mammadli 65kg: Ochilov vs Bonka 80kg: Lupasco vs Alieksieiev 110kg: Mikaeili vs Kurdyan Disappointed in two other semifinal defeats but that super heavyweight SF was positively surprising, interesting to see a Tajik wrestler in the final.

yes unfortunately that's the case, they want to leave and they don't care what will happen to poor people there. I follow the news in Afghanistan regularly and people are really worried about this possible agreement with Taliban. I wish I knew how you can make a deal with them when they believe women should not go to school !! (well only for first 2-3 years only to learn how to read and write, no more) and based on what I know about them, they will never give up this. (and that's just an example) even if they do that will be just tactical and for short term.

with their core supporters that's the only way unfortunately, but in long term the only way to completely defeat them is to educate younger generations. USA invaded Afghanistan something like 20 years ago. so if Taliban still can recruit people younger than 30 it means they did absolutely nothing in this matter. the current government of Afghanistan (which is corrupt) is not a good example too. Taliban right now is much stronger than 10 years ago. guess why. you can't kill an ideology by bombs and missiles.

oh yes that but Afghanistan isn't in the middle east. honestly I don't know much about Pre-Taliban era in Afghanistan . they were still an Islamic country though. but there were always wars in Afghanistan. so I can assume it was never Switzerland. speaking of Taliban, I can't understand how someone can make "peace" with them as you hear in the news these days. they will never give up their ideology which is against humanity.

First day Greco-Roman semifinalists 48kg: vs / vs 55kg : vs / vs 65kg : vs / vs 80kg: vs / vs 110kg: vs / vs like freestyle days Iran brought exactly 4 wrestlers to the semifinals. which is more impressive because Greco is more competitive around the world. 3 of them had Russia in QF , we lost just once and that was 6-0 (almost 8-0) lead but the Iranian kid gassed badly in 2nd period and lost 14-6. interestingly there is only one Russian wrestler here.

you mean this line from the other user "And I'm sure lipstick & bikinis wouldn't fly in places like Yemen or Saudi Arabia but nobody calls this xenophobia" well I'm sure Saudi Arabia and Yemen were never different but Iran was a bit different yes, no change for lipsticks though still the same probably much much more but yes of course you can't see bikinis ! (unless you have a private beach) btw why those years ? what happened in middle east in 1915 or 1960 ?!! the only country with a huge overnight change was Iran and in 1979.

that's a terrible news for Iran, now they can't look at the list and see where is Israel to "not participate" that was their policy since Paris Grand Slam. (for example Iran only sent one competitor to Croatia last week because Israel had nobody in that specific weight) so I guess from now we will only see Iranian judokas at the World Championships

actually reading that news from Asian Paralympic Committee was the reason I wrote this here. this is interesting OCA almost never publishes a complete list of failed drug tests, you have to find news about it here and there. btw since Indonesia was the host by any chance, do you have more information about this ? at least how many positive cases we had ? I guess the answer is no but it didn't hurt asking.

yeah there are some other questions. we assume they will consider the ranking for Asia (even that is not a sure thing) I assume this is the same for Oceania but what about Africa ? Karate is a part of African Games but that PDF document only mentions European Games and Pan-Am Games for that purpose. another thing we should consider is that the PDF says the max number is 10 for each weight, we know there will be 4 from the WR and 3 from the OQT + 1 for the host nation. that leaves only 2 quota available for each weight for the continents. the PDF says Oceania is first, then Africa, then Pan-America, then Asian finally Europe. so specially for Asian and European athletes, being the best ranked in their continent is not necessarily enough, if two other athletes from other continents qualify in the same weight. for example the best male athlete from Oceania is Australia in men's 75kg. if this stays this way and also the same for Asia (the best ranked athlete in Asia is Uzbekistan the same weight) there is no chance for Horuna to qualify this way ! the best female athlete from Oceania by quite a margin is New Zealand in women's Kata.

speaking of doping, I recently found out an old news. http://kurashtd.org/new.aspx?id=62 the Asian Games gold medalist in Kurash from Uzbekistan is now banned. still absolutely NOTHING from OCA about the medal reallocating. they didn't even write about such a thing in their website. I contacted Asian Kurash federation and they told me while they suspended the athlete, the rest is OCA business to withdraw the medal and hand it to the silver medalist or not (which was from Mongolia) OCA is also quiet about the early disqualification of the Mongolian wrestler, (they reported that but nothing more) Kyrgyzstan was supposed to receive that gold medal but officially still nothing.

Qualified countries per new WKF Olympic ranking on 1st August Men Kata: 67kg: 75kg: +75kg: Women Kata: 55kg: 61kg: +61kg: checking the ranking, Turkey has realistic chance to qualify in all 8 events through the ranking, at least 6 or 7 is quite possible for them. Qualified athletes in Europe through the ranking and European Games Men's 75kg: Women's +61kg: @phelps I need a little help here. if they want to pick the best Asians through the ranking (since Asian Games is no qualifier unlike Euro Games) what's the tie breaking criteria ? from what I see the best non-qualified Asian athletes are both from Iran, both of them 7th place (55 and 61) so if the qualification period ends today what's the tiebreaking criteria ? the girl with more ranking points ?! in this case it will be Khaksar. Men's 75kg: Women's 55kg:

medalists 3rd day 45kg: 1) McGowan, 2) Arab, 3) Ozbek & Hagverdiyev 51kg: 1) Khaniev, 2) Akhmajanov, 3) Maruyama & Abramov 60kg: 1) Abdulaev, 2) Elahi, 3) Aoyagi & Tashohlo 71kg: 1) Tigiev, 2) Biro, 3) Valipour & Facundo 92kg: 1) Yousefi, 2) Karimov, 3) Tazhi & Gevorgyan Iran lost the team title to Russia in a very stupid way, our 51kg wrestler got disqualified after losing the bronze medal match mostly because he was crying and wasn't listening to the center referee, at the end he came to the mat, shaking hands and etc but still they disqualified him. which was stupid. his 5th place was enough for Iran to win the team title. beside that, we lost 3 matches today despite having the lead in last 10-20 seconds, only one of them could be enough. here is the team ranking 1. Russia 168 2. Iran 166 3. India 106

2nd day finals 45kg: Mc Gowan vs Arab 51kg: Khaniev vs Akhmajanov 60kg: Elahi vs Abdulaev 71kg: Biro vs Tigiev 92kg: Karimov vs Yousefi --------------------------------------------- medalists 2nd day 48kg: 1) Amouzad, 2) Kadamov, 3) Nishiuchi & Udit 55kg: 1) Jalolov, 2) Veisi, 3) Suganuma & Aman 65kg: 1) Gadzhiev, 2) Tskhovrebov, 3) Kera & Goswami 80kg: 1) Firouzpour, 2) Bagaev, 3) Magamadov & Sahaliuk 110kg: 1) Zasseev, 2) Chikhradze, 3) Misirci & Anirudh bittersweet day for Iran, Firouzpour winning 80kg gold was the best moment of the day, but then Veisi lost the gold in a last second dubious challenge. Habibi lost the bronze to the same guy he beat easily 10-0 few weeks ago in Asia was unbelievable. at the end of the day India ended up winning more medals than anybody else ! and the race for the team title will continue tomorrow. Iran has a small lead after the first medal day but Russia will have 4 in the final tomorrow. but their other wrestler is eliminated while 2 other Iranians still can wrestle for the bronze. even though Valipour only has to pray for Sweden to beat Israel in repechage. even though he deserves nothing after losing to Romania like that. he had a dream draw but blew it.

Second day semifinalists 45kg: vs / vs 51kg: vs / vs 60kg: vs / vs 71kg: vs / vs 92kg: vs / vs Iran and Russia both have 4 wrestlers in the semifinal, it will be close for the team title. I think we will have finalist in 71kg and 92kg , but the other two matches against Azerbaijan will be hard. our 71kg wrestler should be careful because if he loses to Romania there is 50% chance for him to face Israel for the bronze .

I watched lots of matches today. so if you ask me you will win something like 2 bronze medals tomorrow, 55kg and maybe 48 or 65. I don't think there is a chance for your heavier wrestlers, maybe very slim chance for 85. the 48kg was almost in the final but lost it in the last seconds (there were some dubious calls in the match though) and repechage won't be easier for him because of Azerbaijan. I was expecting gold for your 55kg after beating Russia. but well that Uzbek kid was too good. (he is YOG gold medalist)

that turned out to be the only semifinal Iran lost today Habibi had 3pts lead until the last 30 seconds when he gave up a TD and a trapped arm which means two more turns. still not a bad afternoon for Iran, we will have 3 in the final tomorrow. Habibi in bronze medal match and the other guy in repechage. even though he has to beat 3 tough guys for the bronze. here is the finals 48kg: Amouzad vs Kadamov 55kg: Veisi vs Jalolov 65kg: Tskhovrebov vs Gadzhiev 80kg: Firouzpour vs Bagaev 110kg: Zasseev vs Chikhradze I expect 1 gold for Iran, 2 for Russia and 1 for Uzbekistan, and the 80kg final is unpredictable. but I like to think Firouzpour is a bit better.

First day semifinalists 48kg: vs / vs 55kg : vs / vs 65kg : vs / vs 80kg: vs / vs 110kg: vs / vs not a single new "country" for the semifinals. always the same countries in freestyle. it was good for Iran to bring 4 wrestlers to the semifinal, the other kid Motaghi lost narrowly to Azerbaijan just because of one mistake early in the match. semifinals vs USA and Russia will be interesting later today, I hope to see all 4 of them in the final.
