Iran @ The 2012 Summer Olympics: Day 13 [August 9] - Live Updates

[Shogun_Rua]

This clip is from the Finals of the 2011 TKD Championship. Tazegul beat Bagheri 9-8 here. I believe this is the last time the two have met.

They fought again 2 months after World championships in the Olympic Qualification tournament:



Tazegul won 6-4.

why is the final so late?

chera dareh khooneh baaze?
chera domeh khar deraazeh?

I'm curious to know if Bagheri is fasting - doing so would make sparring in that gear unbearable and would justify the lack of major movements.

On time to watch the final too

Honestly, Bagheri had more of a competition to reach to the final than his Turkish opponent did. The Afghan, Nikpakht, was the last Olympic Bronze medalists and he was a favorite to reach the final. I think Bagheri will be at his best in the final match.

lets go Bagheri!!

Not sure, but in my research to answer your question, I saw his "nickname." Pretty funny http://www.london2012.com/athlete/ka...ousef-1061638/

Had a difficult day.

Then, came here a couple of hours ago and saw how Motamed Bagheri has went all the way to the final.

Fantastic news

Really made me forget about how tired I was.

Thanks to everyone who reported Bagheri's matches in this thread.
Enjoyed reading your comments.

Best of luck to Bagheri in the final.
