Iran Hopes for 3 Wrestling Bronze Medals

In today's freestyle wrestling, Iran's 60 Kg Massoud Esmaeilpoor Jouybari (from Jouybar, of course) and 120 Kg Komeil Ghasemi (from Sari) lost in the quarterfinals, but still have a chance for bronze medals through the losers' bracket.

Iran ranked #51 (1 gold & 1 bronze) in the medal count at 2008 Beijing Games:

Lol. Faramarz. Don't be such a party pooper.

I used to have a German American boss who  took the day off and invited us all over his house to watch Germani's Soccer match at world cup ...He was cheering for the Germans.  

I cheer more for the Iranians win.

Actually,  when Iran and U.S played soccer I was jumping up to the moon once the first ball hit the net.   

Dont tell me you didn't

; )

As an Iranian-American, I am sure that you are proud of both athletes!

More Medals on the Way!

This morning, in 60 Kg Greco-Roman wrestling, Omid Haji Noroozi defeated his opponents and mad it to the final against a Georgian opponent. The final will be at 10:46 am today. Go Omid!

Iran’s other two Greco-Roman wrestlers, 84 Kg Habibollah Jomeh Akhlaghi and 120 Kg Bashir Asgari Babajanzadeh Darzi (what’s with the long names!) were eliminated.

In Discus Throw, Ehsan Haddadi threw for 65.12 meters and qualified for the finals tomorrow (starting at 11:45 am). He has a reasonable chance at a Bronze.

In 800 meter, Sajad Moradi made it to the next round with a time of 1:48:23 which is around 3 seconds slower than the main medal contenders.

In Women’s Shot Put, Iran’s Leyla Rajabi (formerly Tatsiana Ilyushchanka of Vitebsk, Belarus) threw for 17.55 meters and was eliminated. What can I tell you about those imports!

Ahmadreza Talebian was also eliminated in 1 Km Single Kayak.

Later on this morning in 105 Kg Weightlifting, Navab Nasirshelal will take the stage (starting at 11 am).

Games are live on EuroSport and Aljazeera Sports. NBC sucks!
