Iran @ The 2012 Summer Olympics: Day 14 [August 10] - Live Updates

[Prince of Fasa]

^by the way Dokhtar jan how did you make your signature because I was wondering how to make it once the olympics have finished and we have our final medal count?

NBC just showed the medal ceremony with the US national anthem playing and they left Goodarzi totally out of the frame when the flags where hoisted, positioning the camera to capture the Uzbeki wrestler next to the USA gold winner (these techniques are called "nonverbal communication" out here in the west.) I guess I know why I couldn't find a PhD advisor when I was in the graduate school a few years ago and had to walk away with a master's degree... Long story but there definitely was a large political component to it. Feels strange and tough when you are in the middle of two countries which don't like each other, one your mother country, the other your adopted one.

so sad...

[Nokhodi]

I don't think many of the athletes are fasting. Most have delayed it till after the Olympics.
I think Karami may just have been ill.

how lame

but not surprising.....i guess they will never talk about how iran already has 4 medals in wrestling while its US first medal (if im not mistaken)

[Kaveh Ahangar]

BBC showed Hadadi's face and the IR flag during the medal ceremony.

Anyway, I thought we were supposed to keep "politics" out of this thread?

[Paradigm]

Same happened to Hadadi (our discus thrower).

There you go... I had not watched that ceremony, so I wouldn't have noticed it.

But these things are called "nonverbal communication" and are very important in the USA.

I now started to think maybe this is not a coincident.

[nimanima]

He is NOT permitted? by who? I don't understand.

please elaborate

I think it's some Islamic mumbo jumbo jibberish
I remember back in elementary school learning about how when you travel you don't have to fast or something like that.

[Payam_Ali]

How long has Karami been here?

If it's less than 10 days, then he is not permitted to fast. Even if he was in London for more than 10 days, he could've travelled outside London to break his fast atleast for this game.. this doesn't really make sense.

please elaborate

[iraniboy]

too bad we didnt get gold..silver and gold are very very far apart in rankings..oh well

[Saam]

Guys lol what's all this "disappointing freestyle wrestling talk". We haven't won shit in freestyle or Greco roman in the Olympics since Ali Reza Dabirs gold in 2000. The best we did I think was a silver in 04 and a bronze from heidari. So if we manage even 1 gold in freestyle this time around it is an achievement in itself.
