Photoshopping!

by G. Rahmanian on

Yolanda dear, this photoshopping could be the work of Mossad to discredit the Islamist Republic. The Zionists are just jealous because a female Muslim runner has won a gold medal!

Let's wait and see how these enemies of Islam photoshop Reza Bouasar's winning moment!

But it shouldn't surprise you if the Mullas themselves did it. It only punctuates their celebrated sexual orientation!

Never mind Ahmadinejad's claim that there are no gays in Iran!

Iran has many talents!

by Arash Kamangir on

We were before 1979 Asian athletics champions in many different fields and under IR our young people have not been able to show the world what they have in them! Women like Maryam are selfbuilt and selfeducated! Welldone!!

This lady has a lot of residual strength, she apparently accelerated at the end of the race while other runners were running out of gas and slowing down!

I can't believe IRI photoshopped her picture, so it is OK for IRI's operatives cavorting with prostitutes in Thailand, but it is not ok for her to have breasts! OMG!

An Iranian guy won a gold medal for 400m at Asian indoor track and field championships also:

Congratulations, Also a Free Breast Reduction by IRI

by IranFirst on

 

To make her look more Islamic /uglier (Even with Hejab), look at the photoshoped version of her picture by IRI, with a free breast reduction

Thanks for the correction Faramarz

by Ari Siletz on

The difference between indoors and outdoors  time is significant. By the way, unfair comparison: a naked gazelle wouldn't stand a chance against Dee Dee and Natasha, much less one wrapped in a hejab.

Well Done :) !

Correction Ari

by Faramarz on

The record that you have mentioned is for outdoors. The indoor records are much slower. The European record is 49.59 and the US record is 50.78.

The reason the outdoor records are better is because of the fewer number of curves, fresh air, wind and better surface.

Now look at these athletes and tell me if an athlete with hejab stands a chance.

you did n't have to write a whole book to be a party pooper. Geez , naive , backward or whatever don't ruin it for her. If  are mad at F....IRI , don't  use her  for that purpose.  Now, don't write me another book and tell me you  are right  and expect an audience.

About 50.55 secs without hejab (at best)

by Ari Siletz on

 

This lower limit guess is based on a temperature vs. running efficiency calculator on this running site

Current women's world 400m record is 47.60sec (Marita Koch 1985)

Note that the calculator does not calculate distances below 3 miles. So in getting an estimate of 50.55 seconds using this distance you get an exteremely generous correction. Overheating is a vastly bigger problem in distance running, so Maryam Toosi would be Shahid Maryam Toosi if she tried to break marathon records, but as a semi-sprinter her life is spared with less than (probably much less than) 6% decrease in performance.

Throw in an extra pound for clothing weight. 


bahmani

In spite of the hejab or thanks to the hejab?

by bahmani on

The laws of Aerodynamics suggest possible an unfair advantage to a hejab over none. Also the time is a full 3 seconds slower than anything average in the rest of the world.

Count it, one thousand one - one thousand two - one thousand three. That's behind over half of the field of a real race. That's almost all the white runners beating you.

Asian games, Asian cup, Asian this, that, or the other, simply doesn't count for shit when the world is the real venue for athletic competition. I have always hated the Asian games for falsely implying world relevance.

What's next, the Persian Gulf Games? Is Iran beating the Arabs the next bragging right desperately needed to prove that Islam wins the athletic as well as semantic argument? Ha-Ha!

No, this race wasn't a real one. This naive and valiant Iranian woman merely overcame an entirely unnecessary obstacle, that in this case ironically worked to her advantage by enabling her to have a lower drag coefficient and use her last ounce of energy to beat a couple of slow Asians in a 1/2 size indoor rubberized track.

BFD.

Take the hood off, put on some shorts, and lets see what you do on the real world stage. If you even qualify I'll gladly eat your hat/hejab.

Ali, I believe if by veiled

by Anahid Hojjati on

you mean Rosari, the answer is yes. It was not long ago if I remmeber right but then may be I am just imagining and it was just a poem about a veiled woman winning in international competition :). By the way, be a liberated man and do the research yourself.

Has a veiled woman EVER won in track and fields in an international match?

 Does anyone know?

Someone research that, instead of poetry reading! ;-)

به خدا اگه این شراب میرزا و قاسم اجازه بدن من بی‌ ادبی‌ نمی کنم وگرنه جی‌ جی‌ خدمتم می‌رسه ولی‌ حالا که شما اومدین دیگه اجازه نمیدم به خودم که اساعه ادب کنم. چون باید مرخص بشم (از شماره ۱۰ داونینگ استریت تلفن شده باید برم) این 
غزل  را محض حسن ختام خدمتتون تقدیم می‌کنم:

 

خدا را کم نشین با خرقه پوشان    رخ از رندان بی‌سامان مپوشان



در این خرقه بسی آلودگی هست    خوشا وقت قبای می فروشان



در این صوفی وشان دردی ندیدم    که صافی باد عیش دردنوشان



تو نازک طبعی و طاقت نیاری    گرانی‌های مشتی دلق پوشان



چو مستم کرده‌ای مستور منشین    چو نوشم داده‌ای زهرم منوشان



بیا و از غبن این سالوسیان بین    صراحی خون دل و بربط خروشان



ز دلگرمی حافظ بر حذر باش    که دارد سینه‌ای چون دیگ جوشان

Red Wine is good with the poems. May be he will contribute some more. But please be comfortable, and don't feel pressured to be "moadab". Not that I am saying that you are not already "moadab".
