Remember gender equality doesn't apply to men.... as long as women are equal or more its fine in the eyes of Mr Fencing gold medalist 1976

then let me tell you how uneducated you are. this is the 7th times in a row that Iran is sending a team to the Asian Women's Handball Championship. only Japan, Kazakhstan and South Korea are doing it for the 7th consecutive times.
 
Iran send teams regularly to the Asian Championships almost in all team sports.
 
as for Afghanistan, women's sport is very new there. but they started sending teams. even though I'm afraid we won't see them in international competition from 2022 or max 2023 when the beloved Taliban takes over of everything. probably not even their men's teams.

People have said that here as well, but i personally still consider Athens to be better. Sure we got one less Gold then, but we still had double the medals than in Tokyo

Heaven's forbid the split is 51-49 or 52-48    Equal numbers in boxing, even though men have one more category

I know that @Federer91. I may be the newest member of this community, but I've been following Totallympics and reading everyone's posts as a visitor for about three-four years now.😂

Welcome aboard Ted  Favourite winter sports and/or athletes? What are you anticipating most from Beijing 2022  

Iran and Afghanistan fielding women's teams is very interesting (at least for my uneducated persona). Not the 2 nations you would associate with women's sports, even less so team ones.  

Slightly off-topic, but it's a good of a thread like any. 
 
It's like a totally different place here today (not the forum, but the country here ) Remember 2 weeks ago, when i left the office and said, that only 1-2 of my colleagues were semi excited/interested in the Olympics. Well, i go to work today and people were buzzing. Now they know names, know events, they talk "Did you watch this, did you saw that". It's like i was in the Twilight zone 
 
Also it was mentioned that record number of young people were talking about it on the social media these past few days, with the unofficial title being "So, this is what having success in sport feels like. We don't have to rely only on our parents and grandparents stories."
 
And i actually saw people defending our athletes, that didn't do that good. Because all of our medals were won by women, there are funny comments like "When is the Olympics for men starting?", "Have the men been left in the kitchen?" etc. And our past few delegations were usually labeled as tourists, going on a free vacation. Just like a week before Tokyo again. Now, all of a sudden, there are hardly any tourists and the ones that say that are countered with "They did their best" and "Even competing is a big success". Things are very bizarre   

And here is the comparison from Rio 2016  I've sorted them out by Rio first, so we can make a comparison, what was more popular then. Green means better, red is worse and white is pretty much the same.

Yes, because you are in America/Canada.  Go ask your average Romanian, or Armenian, or Mongolian, or Kenyan.

And here is the comparison from Rio 2016  I've sorted them out by Rio first, so we can make a comparison, what was more popular then. Green means better, red is worse and white is pretty much the same.
