Disappointed in two other semifinal defeats but that super heavyweight SF was positively surprising, interesting to see a Tajik wrestler in the final.

45kg:  vs / vs

51kg: vs  /  vs

60kg:  vs / vs

71kg: vs / vs

92kg: vs /  vs

 

once again 4 in the semifinals for Iran but this time it will be much harder. 3 of them will wrestle against 2019 European gold medalist and the other one will be up against a very impressive Kazakh Asian Champion. I think none of our wrestlers are favorite to win the semifinal !

finished 5th in womens  ( 11 pts behind the 3rd ranked americans )  despite 2 golds due to some inconsistant performance in the middle weights but sonam is surely going places she is a remarkable girl wrestler , reminds of the impressive deepak punia in the cadets

finals for 2nd day of Greco

 

45kg: Bakhramov vs Izimgali

51kg: Esmaeili vs Aliyev

60kg: Ilbars vs Skuratov

71kg: Starodubtsev vs Saki

92kg: Valiyev vs Evloev

 

Russia made up for the first day by having 3 finalists, but still they are far behind Iran in race for the team title. their other two wrestlers got eliminated. not a bad day for Iran with 2 finalists, but we lost both of our head to head matches to Russia. the other defeat to Kazakhstan at 45kg was expected, this Kazakh kid is something special.

Iran won the team title by a good margin, and also won 2 more gold medalist. interestingly in Greco we had 4 wrestlers in the final. all of them ended up winning gold medal and 4 more in bronze medal match and all of them lost it. mostly in dramatic way. in general that was a good tournament. always to win a team title over mighty Russia

 

the Kazakh kid at 45kg Izimgali was the most impressive wrestler in my opinion
