Iranian Wrestling

Ghasempour easily beat his opponent 10-0 and will perhaps wrestle Abdul Rashid next.

[shahin2000]

Our first loss... Momeni lost in quarterfinals.

[shahin2000]

In a heartbreaker Khalili lost 6-5 in the quarters.

[AGC]

Nokhodi beat Burroughs 6-4

How many more wrestling events still left? U23 u20 u17 senior... That's too much.

Our sport culture is so wrong and unbalanced. Everything and every coverage for football volleyball and wrestling only and almost nothing for the rest. And yet people complain why we have nobody or no results in the other sports.

When our national tv dare to show domestic basketball, handball, tennis, athletics, ice hockey etc.. There is almost nobody in the stands!

There seems to be some dislike in some international comment threads for ghassempour, any idea why?

cause he’s beating the crap out of everybody?

kidding aside, I’m not sure

[TM4LIFE]

My god
what a travesty. This is Yazdani vs DT all over again.
ghassempour winning 3-1 with 8 seconds left, a brief loss of concentration, and he loses the match.

Ridim, well, I wasn't really interested in that WC anyway even in GR. Nothing really prestigious so I don't think we should be disappointed.

I hope that our wrestlers and the coaching staff know what to work on based on this experience and that's pretty much it.

How the tides have turned. We're so much better at Greco-Roman wrestling now.

You're totally right but I would also add that the competition has gotten way tougher in Freestyle. Many countries didn't give as much importance to Freestyle as we do/did in Iran in the past. Our achievements in GR are on the other hand amazing. We can thank our Southern guys for dominating and being so good at GR.

It’s possible that Kamran will meet Taylor for bronze.

So how many chance of Bromze we have beside Kamran?

[PEJ]

Greco Roman is so much more technical than freestyle. With freestyle you can get away with being a quick, athletic and a gas tank. This is why you see so many wrestlers from many countries do ok in freestyle.

Nevermind! Only Nokhodi. Beside Kamran
