By the way the qualification for discus throwing is also tomorrow. Hadadi should have no trouble and he is a medal contender.

[footballeirani]

GOOD NEWS! Both Russian weightlifters have withdrawn from tomorrow's 105 kg race which makes it very possible for Nasirhelal of Iran to win a medal. Cross Your fingers!

Both the Russians were expected to finish with gold and silver.

Beautiful that we got the Gold, but this has only made me hungry for MORE! More wrestling and more weightlifting, please! I love how these are the things that our people are good at.

[AllStarMomo]

I tried to find out more about our 105kg weightlifter Navab Nasirhelal and found nothing. He is unknown. lol
But he is competing in the A group so he has to be good.

Look at my post at the iran's olympic Weightlifting schedule!

Thank god this time sourian pre-empted the regime forces and before actually winning the gold he announced he is dedicating his gold to his coach, Md. Bana

in case you all dont know, the last time he won the gold (asian games), he was forced to dedicate it to rahbar!!!!

Who said he was forced? He did not have to do it so dont make any excuses for him. He actually gifted it to Ahmadinejad and later met with him and embraced him. Again he did not have to do it. What were they going to do if he did not gift it to Ahmadinejad? He is a world champ already.

The whole video is on youtube. Hope his head is in a better place now!
