The Irani let say had to withdrew when they meet Israeli or when Israeli just is competing in the same event ? becuse if it´s in the 2nd case there a risk also in weightlifting +105, isn´t ?

Let's by all means not forget that the athletes (and fans) are not those being stupid, but are being robbed and are victims of the situation.. I feel sad for this judoka, he gets robbed of a magnificent experience and there's nothing he can do about it. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I think I got it now, so in fact only in a sport where are some decent or possible chances to have a meet. Ok, thanks for the explanation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me that i'm all for separation of Sport and Politics and Fans and Athletes definetly shouldn't be the ones suffering, especially in the biggest event in the world!

heywoodu 13,540 Posted August 4, 2016 #129 Share Posted August 4, 2016 One of the women in -52kg has withdrawn (don't know who), resulting in Belgian Ilse Heylen receiving an invitation last night....too late for her to travel to Rio (she hasn't been training, wouldn't make her weight etc), which means she is now living a sort of Olympic nightmare http://m.sporza.be/#!/snippet/57a2f949486a0f76c64ebf5d If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

kungshamra71 687 Posted August 4, 2016 #130 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Em 8/1/2016 at 22:43, MHSN disse: the thing is , if they get the Israel athlete in 1st round he has to withdraw, and then IOC will investigate the situation and by not sending him, they already solved the problem. weightlifting is not a problem , not a head-to-head sport. the only problem is men's 58kg Taekwondo and the Iranian there is the top favorite for the gold. I don't get it, why dropping? If there are political issues between the two countries, wouldn't be better to let them face each other? It's an opportunity for the nations to clash between each other without violence... This way it just seams iranians are running away from Israelits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
