Last week our federation announced half of the team for the 2025 Worlds (7 in Greco, 3 in freestyle)
we have a very very weird and complicated trial process those guys already met the criteria or in another word nobody else met the criteria to challenge them.
we won 8 medals in wrestling in Paris, 4 of those guys already confirmed their places in 2025 team.
but the most important part, it's confirmed now that Hassan Yazdani is not going to wrestle in 2025 he had another shoulder surgery after the Olympics (this time in France) and they think it's better for him to not rush it if he wants to have a shot for the 2028 Olympics. he was a national team member from 2015 to 2024 and won 10 World/Olympic medals in 10 consecutive years. and beside that, when/if he comes back he will move up a weight or two. he won't wrestle at 86kg anymore.
Nah, they are too good to be kicked out. I presume anyone who is currently in the teams will remain, but they won't be naturalizing new wrestlers going forward. For now at least
