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

[Jiggy]

bagheri was too defence turkey guy was better

[Kaiser Amir]

I believe he was saying that the Turkish guy left the mat in which case Iran would get a point.

Yeah.

But the score was 6-4.

Then, Iran's coach protested and it ended 6-5.

And, still we lost.

P.S. - Corrected my mistake, amoo Sibil

[Doctor DOOM]

Actually he was "Canadian", so once again the West fcked us lol

come on mate, are you dutch?
you're as iranian as they come

[Sharkie]

No, it didn't aziz. The Turk was warned previous which Bagheri trailed 6-5. The Turk left the mat which is why the Iranian coach challenged. It should have been a clear penalty!!

Yeah.

Good job Bagheri. Another silver for Iran.

[Kiarash]

Some people should stop blaming the referee. The Turkish guy won and he deserved it, he was much better. Learn how to accept losses.

However, I am proud of our achievement! Silver is good.

too late! I already published on front page: "Kaiser Amir thought he saw Karami today instead of Bagheri" !

[Prince of Fasa]

it looked like the tork completely left the mat once time had finished which is why they didn't give a penalty

[Khashayar]

Such a close match... Heartbreaking to lose, especially to Turkey as I will be taunted by many Turks now lol. Still well done to Bagheri and congrats on your silver medal.

[K. Nader]

I wish there were 6 weight classes instead of 4. All 3 of our World Champions are in succeeding weight classes, meaning that we can only send one of them (unless one of the others loses or gains a lot of weight.

Well, just remind them that this is their only Gold medal whereas Iran has won 4. :P

hehehe I was just kidding, hence "Canadian" between the quotation marks; I guess wer really need that sarcastic smily you've been asking for for so long

[Shogun_Rua]

Ahhhh close match... Bagheri always managed to score first but Tazegul always came right back and scored with a counter attack.... I think it was the 2nd round where Bagheri scored and the Turk scored 3 points straight after with some nice quick kicks... It's always close when these two fight, usually the Turk destroys people with very high scores.

I have to admit, I have no idea about Taekwando.
The last match I'd seen, prior to this one, was by Hadi Saei in which he won Olympic gold against an italian opponent.

Dar har hal, dame shir bache-haye Iran garm.
Ru sefidemun kardan to in Olympic.

[Matador]

Does Karami have a better chance of gold tomorrow?
