yeah I watched some of his matches, he is pretty good. very technical. still our wrestler is not without hope, he is tough and strong (less technical though) , we usually do well against Armenians

 

btw I saw some wrestlers were already balding ! at 20 ?! seriously some countries should stop sending overaged wrestlers

Agree the armenian looked suprising mature in 130 ..... who else ???

Iran started the day the same as yesterday, losing two wrestlers right in the first round but everything was good since then until the 82kg quarterfinal. that still hurts me ! Forouzandeh was leading the Russian 2-0 comfortably but slipped on the mat in last 2 seconds and lost it by a caution (since he touched opponent's leg in a defensive way) how come our wrestlers doing this kind of mistakes again and again.

 

Our remaining two wrestlers look good so far. Kavininejad is a last year World Junior Champion who is knocking the door in senior level and narrowly missed the senior team this year. anything less than gold will be a very bad result for him. and Nejati also dominated his matches so far.

What a silly mistake by Mohamed Ibrahim against the Uzbek , he was leading 5-1 just 30 seconds to go and then got rolled in a really silly way , i wonder if tge Uzbek guy deserved only 2 points on this move and i wonder why our coach didn't challenge the call as long as our wrestler was already down by last points superiority rule , really dissapointing loss we could have easily 2 in the finals abd now he'll have to face either Kazakh the Asian champion or the Iranian guy in bronze tommorow

there is an Indian guy winning bronze at 55 "Vijay" and another Indian who pinned our wrestler by surprise and went to the final at 60kg. again Vijay ! the same person ?! this sounds crazy but I remember I head somewhere that from this month UWW let wrestlers participate in one weight up as well. but I hope our Indian friends confirm this. the same guy or not ? if he is the same guy. he just made history by winning 2 medals in one Greco-Roman competition !

[MHSN 3,613]

mixed feeling about today. we could send 3 wrestlers to the final but we got only 1 ! our other 4 wrestlers will be alive in repechage tomorrow. even though knowing the mentality of Iranian wrestlers they usually don't survive in repechage when they have to start from the 1st round. after Forouzandeh blowing away his gold medal chance by that stupid last second mistake. Nejati also made another one against this Vijay guy and got pinned despite having the match under his control. but on other hand Kavianinejad despite being disappointing managed to beat Russia 1-1 . to be honest winning 1-1 by cautions is not something to be proud of.

 

Finals for tomorrow: interesting that 10 wrestlers from 10 different countries

 

60: vs

67: vs

72: vs

82: vs

97: vs

This Russian guy in 77 looks great. He destroyed this Indian guy after 2min.
