We are now 24th.
Any other medal hopes till the end of the games?

We have Behdad Salimi (gold probably), Sajjad something (silver probably), Reza Yazdani (silver probably) and two more wrestlers who the bookies predict to get gold medals.

I think its very funny how the top 10 are all caucasius countries.... with the exception of poland
Im shocked at how none of the large countries made the top 10

The world's #1 and #2 from Russia did not participate that's why the records were so low and competition close.

Why is that? Why are Iranian lifters so much weaker in snatch compared to C&J? This seems to be the case with all of them.

Well it's a weightlifting thing really, you are either good in Snatch or C&J but in our case it's because nobody cares much about the Snatch for some Iranian reason.
