Rohullah Nikpai wins first Afghanistan Olympic Medal at Beijing 2008 | Throwback Thursday

[@foxxgalactik287]

The honor behind being the first medalist in your country ... must be unimaginable

[@numerian4516]

And one that’ll never be beat, it’ll withstand time.

[@yamaryanariaafg8052]

Indeed! As an Afghan I can tell you he paved the way for so many athletes that are successful today and he is considered as the living legend today.

Taekwondo was first introduced to Afghanistan in the 60’s by an African American Peace Corps volunteer. He started with a very small group of young school kids. That guy should be very proud.

[@Arminsaf2]

Wow I learned something new. Do you mind sharing his/ her name?

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

Afghanistan, Taipei, Dominican Republic, Mexico. Great to see a varied podium for what some might assume is a niche sport.

What a man, a hero and a national icon for afghans, not just hazare, but for the whole Afghanistan

[@mkhan9033]

@Shohab Rafii let’s not mention what ethnicity our champions belong to. You see on his back it has Afghanistan written so he is a hero of Afghanistan. When we mention ethnicity than we disrespect our national champion. He is Afghanistan’s national hero and a national champion. Therefore, he is the champion of every single Afghan.

[@shaqaeqrezai5875]

[@AakashJdp123]

I as an Indian went to see the Olympic Games with no hope from South Asia. When India won the gold by Abhinav.I literally cried in the shooting arena. But when Rohullah Nikpai won the medal I literally cried a lot for Afghan. Afghans are really the nicest human being I have ever ever known.

We also should respect others opinions not everyone is going to like the same champion. However, a champion is a champion, and therefore like him or dislike him he must be honoured and respected at the highest level as he has brought highest honour at an international level for Afghanistan, our lovely great country.

Whats wrong with the foot of the guy representing Spain?

[@kristiandoraci8255]

He dislocated his toe o think

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

needs commntary, 99% of comments dont even know how the sport works, just happy for afghanistan. also want to know why point was deducted for spain? Also what and why do they scream after each point score? it seems unsportsmanlike, the spain guy was screaming a lot, why?

[@rangotv5850]

In TKD you lose points by gaining two „warnings“/penalties, incurred by ex. punching to the face, stepping out of the ring, pushing/ holding/ grabbing (here the judges have a bit of tolerance in judging). The spain fighter got his first penalty because he went out of the ring 9:50. the second one, was due to holding his opponent 11:00. thats why he lost the point the screaming in the fight is some sort of „mental warfare“. Furthermore, the fighter thinks he scored, so he is cheering. but since the judges are accountable for deciding wether there is a point or not, there is no real effect for the fight. why the spanish fighter screamed during the break, is pretty unclear to me aswell.

[@noahellis768]

How does

[@davimol3530]

1pt: punch/kick in the body 2pt: kick in the head 3pt: round kick in the head 4pt: round kick in the face I don't know if is it totally correct, but it's something like that

[@rangotv5850]

one point, basic attack to torso two points, spinning kick to torso three points, kick to head (there are no 4 point, neither do they differ, between head and face)

[@josefholm6922]

One point for a valid punch to the trunk protector Two Points for a valid kick to the trunk protector Four points for a valid turning kick to the trunk protector Three points for a valid kick to the head Five points for a valid turning kick to the head
