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

[manchooo]

Sure we can get atleast 5 more, my predictions

Weightlifting:

Behdad Salimi - Gold
Sajjad Anoushiravani - Silver/Bronze

Taekwondo:

Mohammad Bagheri Motamed - Gold/Silver
Yousef Karami - Gold/Silver/Bronze not sure which one.

Greco Roman Wrestling:

Saeid Abdevali - Tomorrow - Gold
Ghasem Rezaei - Tommorow - He could medal

Freestyle Wrestling:

Mehdi Taghavi - Gold
Reza Yazdani - Gold/Silver
Hassan Rahimi - Bronze
Sadegh Goudarzi - Silver/Bronze

and the rest of the freestyle team have a chance as well depending on who they get on their side of the draw but I wouldn't count on it.

What about the discus throwing dude? Do you have any info on him?

[Soroush-IK]

Going by what you are saying this could be our histories best olympic games ever. I'm not sure if I can trust you

Well, we are already well on our way!

[manchooo]

Because there are a lot of Russians/Soviet people who live in Kazakhstan, also a lot of them go to compete for Kazakhstan if they can't make it for their country. Also because Kazakhstan is the greatest country in the world.

man wtf

Turkey has zero medals lol
Spain has only 2 silvers and 1 bronze wtf
India hasn't got a gold yet
and Kazakhstan is owning

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.

[persian_pooya]

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.

All Tomorrow
We also have Sajjad Anoushiravani Hamlabad in the same weightlifting group as Behdad Salimi who got the Silver medal in the 2011 world championship. Additionally Saeid Morad in 66kg greco-wrestling who has potential for gold,Ghasem Gholamreza Rezaei in the 96 kg Greco Wrestling (I don't know how good he is). We have a discus thrower Ehsan Hadadi who can also potentially get a medal.

Furthermore
We have a few Taekwondo fighters and our boxer Rouzbahani who I believe is in the quarter-finals maybe semis?

[Prince of Fasa]

^we also have 7 freestyle wrestlers

[iraniboy]

lol jokes aside, Kazakhstan is becoming a proper country. They already have a GDP/capita of 13K. They have a good future.

damn..well who ever is running kazak is a real boss

What about the discus throwing dude? Do you have any info on him?

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.

[persian_pooya]

^we also have 7 freestyle wrestlers

yep and from what I hear they are all good

[Ario Barzan]

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)!!!

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

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

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.
