Iran @ The 2012 Summer Olympics: Day 10 [August 6] - Live Updates

[Prince of Fasa]

By the way Kaveh Ahangar thank you for negative repping me you hypocritical bigot just because I expressed my opinion. At least Ario Barzan jan had the integrity to answer me with respect. People like you are what slows down the progress of our society and country.

Our free-style Wrestlers have the best technique in the world.

Wrong, Russians do by far...

Iranians are not good in snatch because the snatch is "all about" technic (which Iranians are bad in in almost every sport including football: passing, stopping the ball, crosses, etc.).

They are good in clean & jerk because there you can compensate your lack of technic and lots of errors by pure power (which Iranians are very good in in every sport including football, look how they push all the opponents around).

hmmm ... and even worst could be said about other top population countries like pakistan, indonesia, and nigeria. (incidentally, what do these 3 countries have in common ... think about it)!!!

well...I have absolutely no idea!!

...and props to Shogun_Rua, very knowledgeable member. Pretty much all your Euro 2012 and Olympics predictions have been right so far.

Well, it's good ol' Nursultan Tulyakbay. And we do know that all the other countries are run by little girls.

lool well i doubt that

I think Spain will get some medals in team sports (basketball, handball).
India isn't known to be a main sport nation (except for cricket).

Looks like it's going to be a fairly disgraceful showing for a nation of 1.2 billion.

seriously that is just sad..how could the indians not like sports? so beghayrat...also did the philippines, bangladesh or pakistan make it to the olyimpics? these are all very big nations..

Especially Uzbekistan. Those damn Uzbeks.

Discus thrower: Ehsan Hadadi is in the final group of twelve tomorrow since he already got past the quarters and definitely has potential for a medal but it will be tough.

nice,

Here's more info on him and his competitors. He was second in qualifications and he was in group A so that means he def'n has a chance! Let's go Ehsan! Can't believe we have a chance to get a medal in discus throwing.
