This is a huge win by Azarpira to beat Tazhudinov!!wow
The guy haven’t lost a fight in his last 40 something!
hope azarpira have enough gas in tank for tomorrow vs Snyder

[BusiG]

with both Amouzad and Azarpira advancing to the final we should be Team Champs already i guess no matter what?

[Iran_19]

Amouzad got extremely lucky vs indian guy in quarter!

he was totally out of gas after 2 min! He basically was taking the guy out of mat for 4 points out of 6 while indian had 2x 2 points from khaak!
30 sec more and he was losing it for sure!
he need to manage his energy level tbh!
tough one Kotaro in final tomorrow

Yes we are! Not counting Russian medals and their athletes all over the other countries helps for sure but still good achievement!

Looking at GR list there are lots of new faces orher than Esmaili, Mohmadi, Saravi and mirzazadeh
can our experts in GR elaborate more on this squad and their chance?

At the lower weights they took a lot of young guys.

Balootaki took the U20 worlds gold this year.
Ahmadi vafa won u20 and u23 worlds gold last year.
Keshtar got silver the Asian championship this year.
Sohrabi got gold in Asian championship.
Abedvali won u20 worlds last year and the year before. Got silver in Asia senior championship.

They obviously are very decorated and the potential is there. But really interested to see how they do this year. I do think Greco is a style where the older guys generally have the advantage as opposed to freestyle. So this could be a baptism by fire sort of speak.

Thanks PEJ
yeah it will be interesting to see these young kids! GR is quite tough category and fights are very tight!
btw, 7 out of 10 GR wrestlers are from Khuzestan!

Rahman with a dominant revenge over the Japanese guy. He was absolutely a man possessed. Ended up techinn him in 2 minutes.
Azarpira lost in the last second to Snyder. One thing about him is that he is a very defensive wrestler. And Snyder just wore him down at the end with his pace. Overall a great showing by the team.

[khosro]

Rahman was a beast. I agree Azarpira was too defensive but a good showing from our boys today!

[BusiG]

Amouzad birahm to the fullest today, simply wow. Ararpira honestly did a good job against snyder and that stupid finger holding point the ref gave snyder was the difference, otherwise the outcome would probably be another one. Great achievement overall for our FS Team to finish on Top of Team Ranking.
Now lets hope our GR will do the same and even better.

[Iran_19]

Beating Tazhudinov and Rahman taking his revenge was HUGE!
beating 2 Olympic champs was special!
however Azarpira moft bakht! Snyder won with his experience! And Azarpira lost another last few sec fight!
dorostkar said the plan was to manage the fight in first 3 min then attack in second! But Azarpira was happy with 2 points of khaak and was hoping to win 2-1!
too defensive and conservative!!

When does Greco start, is it tomorrow (Thursday)?

That stupid military salute during award ceremony shows up again.
Makes it hard to enjoy any Iranian sport without getting pissed off.

Well that’s part of the thing with having Dabir as the Head of the federation. That guy is such a scumbag. You can actually tell that the wrestlers don’t really like him. But this is where we are at. These guys don’t have the option like the footballers to branch out and make money. They have to play the game in order to make a living.

Well Dabir is jerk khayemal but the other sports do this shit also(Volleyball, U23 football, etc)
