Soheil writes: I want to nominate my fellow countryman and World Champion Behzad Khodadad (right), who recently won the Flyweight Gold Medal at the World Taekwondo Championships in Korea. He defeated Uzbekistan in the final, but also totally outclassed Korea in a preliminary bout in the photo attached. Along with Behzad's Gold, Hadi Afshar won the Silver medal in the heavyweight class for Iran. Let's hear it for our team! Zendebad Iran!!!

Final Standings: 1=Korea 2=Turkey 3=Iran 4=France 5=Spain.
