Saeid Abdevali was on Mehran Modiri's show. Modiri mocks him for his famous swearing in front of TV

Mohammadpour got NOTHING yet, it's far from being, this is just the preliminary result, first IOC has to officially disqualify those 4 guys and then it's ni IWF's hands to award the medal to the next competitors, in some cases in past they just leave the medals blank and didn't award them to anybody, I believe Mohammadpour will get the gold medal eventually but still it's too early to celebrate.

[Nokhodi]

The top 4 weightlifters in the 94 kg weight class for men's weightlifting were caught doping so the gold medal went to Iran. Saeed Mohammadpour wins gold medal 4 years later!

Congratulations to him and all Iranians. I have a feeling much of the results from 2016 will change in the same way 4 years from now.

^ Damn!!! I wonder how many additional medals we are going to get for the 2016 Olympics then.

But this is cool, so now instead of 17th we finish 16th in the 2012 Olympics.

Iran has got an additional gold medal from London 2012

Saeid Mohammadpour, who finished 5th in Weightlifting (94kg) receives gold after all athletes, who finished above were disqualified.

Ok, but in any event how does the UK prepare its athletes? Does anyone have any specifics to share with us here?

Very simple, after winning just 1 gold in atlanta they invested lots of money in sport through the UK National Lottery funding, and then they saw the initial successes in china.

At that point, they cut the funding to sports which they weren't achieving anything in, and multiplied the funding in sports they were successful in.

So to put it simply:

1) National lottery (i.e. a sport and culture tax)
2) Funding based on results

So I realized Iran did not do well in Rio 2016. What would you think are the needed steps to take in order to perform better in future events? How do successful countries such as UK (with smaller population than Iran) prepare for the Olympics?

u cannot compare UK with Iran. u can compare AZB with Iran or other neighbouring countries. Turkey and Iran are incredible close in olympics if you look at medals and what sports they win medals in

Khak bar sare Federation that they even did not let one of our Athlets to the closing ceremony. The Statement with the tieredness is BS. They just did not wanted them to be part of this Party.
