Yesterday without any doubt was outstanding day for Iranian. Iran with gaining two gold and two silver jumped from step 29 to 14 in Olympic ranking. Now Iran with 8 medals are above of Denmark, Brazil and Spain. Congratulation to these diligent athletes. I am so proud of them because despite developed countries Iranian government does not support these athletes that much. Some of them even did not have any coach like Ehsan Hadadi. He have practiced alone during these years and he succeed to win Silver in Men's Discus throw. He lost gold medal only with 10 cm difference in front of his German opponent. In Gerco-Roman wrestling again Rezaei shined and achieved to a worthy gold medal. In men's weightlifting in 105Kg Iran won both of Gold and Silver. For sure it was very good night for all Iranian over the world. I hope Iran gain several medals in free-style wrestling and promote its place in Olympic table.
The sad truth about these Iranian athletes is that after Olympics no one remember them at all. Even their fans who sit and praise them after a while forget them. Many of them have difficulties in their normal livings. Government only abuse from them for their own whims. It always has been one the horrible and dark side of Iranian athletes lives. A few of them in order to solve their livelihood problems, find a job or have a loan and etc accept to pollute themselves in politics. For example support a especial candidate or offering their medal to someone in regime to show that person is as popular as that athlete. And hey people who love this champion even your warrior love this person so if you like him, you are fan of this person too .
Moreover, Iranian athletes are under monitoring during all contests. After Islamic Revolution in Iran (abound 30 years ago) authorities do not permit them to contest with Israeli athletes. Many of them loosing chance of getting gold because of this foolish policy. They think if the compete with Israel others say Iran has accepted Israel. As a Iranian I do not understand why Iran and Israel are enemy with each other?! We do not have even common border. We did not fight with each other and even Iran has had historical friendship with Jews which come back to 2500 years ago. Iranian hosted Jews for many years and they have lived together without any problem. But suddenly without any logical reason we became our enemies. As a human and Muslim I deplore for Palestinian and I denounce Israel for usurping their lands and using force against Palestinian. I do believe Israel has right to live beside Palestinian but in peace and calmness without violence and with respect and far from racist actions. Unfortunately most of Israeli governments till now have not respect UN statements and are continuing to destroying Palestinian lands. However, Polluting sport to politics is not acceptable in any way. The goal of Olympics are peace and calmness in the world. I hope one day this trend stop in the world and world and especially Middle East reach to stable peace.
