    Kimia Alizadeh (Bronze medalist in Rio 2016) aims to compete under a white flag as refugee in Germany.

    Iran's only female Olympic medallist to compete under white flag in Tokyo
    https://www.yahoo.com/sports/irans-only-female-olympic-medallist-163137261.html
    Iranian female Olympic medal winner Kimia Alizadeh has been granted refugee status in Germany and aims to compete in the Olympic Refugee Team under a white flag in Tokyo this summer. Alizadeh, who won taekwondo bronze at the Rio 2016 Olympics, fled to Germany last year after several offers to compete for the Netherlands, Canada, Belgium and Bulgaria. "Taekwondo changed my life," Alizadeh told Reuters.

      Iran’s slogan ahead of the Tokyo Games has been chosen: “All for Iran”. https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/459...-2020-revealed

      Shout out to CQ's "All for TM", which I'm sure was an inspiration.

            No. We haven't qualified anyone in water sports yet. And no chance of an Olympic medal in the foreseeable future.

                The qualifiers are over or is there any hope?
                We had a 16 year old swimmer at the time of last Olympics

                  For swimming it is record based and none of our swimmers have managed to qualify by swimming faster the qualification time. But there is a wild card for each event so I think we could end up with 1 swimmer qualifying using that.

                  For water polo there was supposed to be a qualification tournament in February 2020 and Iran had very slim chance of qualifying if they beat Kazakstan, but it was cancelled due to Covid and they gave the spot straight to Kazaks as they had won the 2018 Asian games!!!

                      Why, he's still good and we have the Olympics soon.

                        I think he didn't have the starter role lately.

                            That sounds like an excuse. Maybe as Iran_19 said, it is because he lost his spot.

                              He would have most likely made the 14 man squad. True he wasn't a starter but even recently he helped a lot as a super sub. His serving and receiving was still top 3 in the team.

                                For our more volleyball knowledgable members:

                                - Is Ghafour still on the team?
                                - I looked at our last roster and it seems we have several 2 meter plus players and several of them have very good experience in Iran and Europe. Are they any good?
                                - Who is the next supposed star?
                                - Can we be a dark horse in the Olympics?
