HAFEZ:
چه مبارک سحری بود و چه فرخنده شبی
Cheh mobarak sahar-i boud o cheh farkhondeh shabi
A blessed dawn followed an auspicious and promising night
Regardless of any political sways – watching this Persian Pahlavan being the best at his sport, was touching. These Olympics have shown how the “truth” in sport (something Sebastian Coe spoke about) shines among 205 countries. The honesty of sport, and the sportswomen and women has been a refreshing touch on our TV screens these past 11 days.
Congratulations again, Behdad Salimi on becoming the “Strongest Olympian” – London 2012.
