disappointing for Karami but he must move forward, matches dont always go your way. Muhammad in my opinion had more stamina. He was also humble..unlike some American wrestler lol jk
anyways congrats to Sadegh Gourdarzi for winning silver!!!

[Keano]

baba why soo soon to conclusions? This was day 1 freestyle and we got 1 nice Silver.
we have some world champs in our freestyle squad, we have 5 more wrestlers to come. all with serious medal chances!
This Freestyle squad that we have is one of the strongest we ever sent to olympics.... yekkam sabr kon janam and enjoy the silver

Very true amoo jaan, it's not over yet, but what I mainly tried to say was that our Grecko-Roman used to suck in all levels, however now we win the Olympics which is an amazing accomplishment.

lesson of the day:
We cant beat black people

LOL what are u talkin about? our athletes have already beat a handful of black people

[Siavash]

Great sportsmanship here loved it hope these heroes show politicians to find a way to respect each other and leave in harmony and peace.

Karami is probably our second most decorated Taekwondoka after Saei so it's really disappointing to see him perform like this. There are times in sports where you can say that the opponent beat you fair and square but Karami's biggest barrier was himself. Out of the 6 sets he fought, he was only active in 1 while his first match was probably the worst I've seen him in 8 years.

What's more disappointing is that Iran came first in the 2011 TKD World Championship (Men's category). This was the first time another nation had dethroned S. Korea to collect the most Gold medals.

I hope ur joking..
I'm sure we beat a cuban guy in greco-roman wrestling few days ago.

I expected better from Karami.. the GB was inexperienced but seems nerves got to Karami, which is a shame considering he's been a world champion before.

1 Silver today.. Not bad..

5 athletes left.. 60,84, and 120 kg wrestlers tomorrow
and 2 more wrestlers on sunday.

Whatever the outcome, it's been a fantastic experience this year!

^^ lol, explains our recent 0-0 against Qatar too .

[Adesor Vafaseya]

brit won 11:7 Karami was a dissapointment overall... he should have done better... that was not the Karami we know...

Goudarzi

[Martin-Reza]

It's over, he lost. Very disappointing.

[Kiarash]

Class act by the British one for hugging and raising the Iranian hand.

[Karimi 8]

Karami loses 11-7, looked like he had some serious pain in his left shin/knee
