    Exactly, this event was made to show the IOC how the sport of wrestling can unite countries where politics can't and what do these f*cking idiots do ? They organize a political protest against the government at the event, seriously f*ck these LA Iranians, I was looking forward to watching our guys compete but what do you expect from the "Shahs of Sunset" kind... Everyone knows how sh*t the I.R government is but these L.A Iranians are not much better, they can protest wherever and whenever they want but why would they chose this event.. F*cking RETARDS.

    بهرام افشار زاده در گفتگو با رسانه*های داخلی ایران در مورد علت بازگشت تیم ملی کشتی ایران گفته است: "از طریق کانال*های ماهواره*ای بیگانه متوجه شدیم که ۱۰ هزار پرچم ایران با آرم شیر و خورشید برای حضور تماشاگران ایرانی در مسابقات کشتی توزیع شده است. این مساله می*تواند کشور و ورزش را با مشکلات عدیده*ای روبرو کند. با توجه به این که انتخابات ریاست جمهوری در پیش است، بازگشت تیم ملی از آمریکا منطقی و اصولی است."
    دبیر کمیته المپیک ایران برگزاری این مسابقه را در چنین شرایطی "نقطه منفی" برای ورزش ایران دانسته است: "فدراسیون کشتی آمریکا باید تعهد می*کرد تا از مسائل سیاسی جلوگیری شود، همان طور که ما در ایران برای آزادی و آرامش آنها همه کارهای لازم را انجام دادیم. اما متاسفانه فدراسیون آمریکا این کار را برای ایران نکرد. قطعا اگر این مسابقه انجام می*شد برای ورزش کشور و مملکت نقطه منفی به حساب می*آمد. خوشحالم که کشتی*گیران این کشور را به مقصد ایران ترک کردند."



    you know this regime is on its last legs when it fears "different flags"! A stable and strong regime wouldnt even bother about such matters

    Rubbish, Iranian teams have attended many matches outside Iran where there countless lion and sun flag. That is not the reason.

    Still no word on why Iran wrestling team went home and skipped out on L.A. visit

    Without an official explanation, the Iranian national wrestling team abruptly returned home Thursday and will not compete against a United States squad as planned Sunday at the Los Angeles Sports Arena.

    First reported by the Daily News on Thursday night, the reason for the team’s departure a day after decisively winning an exhibition against the U.S. in an international meet in New York remains a mystery at a critical time in promoting the sport as its Olympic future hangs in the balance

    A goodwill tour ongoing this month involving the U.S., Russia and Iran was to boost awareness for Olympic wrestling, which might be canceled during the Summer Games starting in 2020. Wrestling is one of eight sports seeking to fill one spot in the 2020 Olympics and a key vote by the International Olympic Committee will take place May 29 in Russia to recommend three of eight sports to advance to a final vote in September.

    In a joint statement released this morning by USA Wrestling executive director Rich Bender and Bill Scheer, the chairman of the Committee for the Preservation of Olympic Wrestling, the program for the “United 4 Wrestling” 2 p.m. event Sunday has been changed to include the U.S. team facing a squad from Russia and Canada instead.

    “We have been informed by the Iranian Wrestling Federation that the team’s schedule has changed and they have departed for Iran,” said the statement.

    “We are thankful to the Iranian Wrestling Federation for their participation in New York. We had an outstanding competition with the three countries and the Iranians have assured us that they remain committed to the cause of keeping wrestling in the Olympics.”

    The U.S. team is scheduled to train this afternoon at Harvard-Westlake High School in Studio City in preparation for Sunday’s event, which organizers had planned to attract many Iranian-Americans to attend as they did in New York.

    Wednesday, the Iranian team defeated the U.S. team, six matches to one, during their first visit to the U.S. in a decade. Fans waved Iranian flags and blew horns loudly.

    “It was really loud in there,” said U.S. wrestler Kyle Drake afterward in an Associated Press story. “Feels like we were in Tehran. What’s going on? Where’s our USA folks?”
