Question for #MHSN.

Does Iran have olympic trials in wrestling?

I am sure i read your posts about it but cant be 100% sure.

 

you know we are a unique country, even our trials are unique :d

 

we never had a fixed rule about the trials . it changes year by year. mostly because our top wrestlers usually try to avoid the trials, they are afraid of losing. if you heard about Hamid Sourian, he is our most accomplished wrestler but he NEVER wrestled any kind of trials inside Iran ! this is unbelievable ! the only match he wrestled in Iran in his entire senior career was a league match which he lost by technical fall !! 

 

for few years our wrestling federation announced they will be very serious about the trials. still half of our top wrestlers didn't show up. of course they always make excuses, some last minute injury. some family emergency things like that. actually we got weaker in past few years mostly because the federation tried to stick to the rule. therefore we had weaker teams in past few years. also some people (including myself) believe some wrestlers are only good for local competitions. we have some wrestlers who dominated everybody in Iran but never won anything internationally.

 

this year our federation was ruined because the previous president resigned, temporary presidents can't do anything. this year it was totally up to the coaches , the whole process is like we have a competition early in the season, that's open for everybody. they pick few guys from each weight, add them to the current national wrestlers, then test all of them in various tournaments, (Asian Championships, World Cup, other tournaments) they choose their team based on those results but then if they can't decide, we will have direct matches between the candidates. but in Greco our coach simply doesn't believe in the trials. he sent everybody (two in each weight) to a tournament in Georgia, whoever wins , also wins the spot in the team. but in freestyle we had direct trials in Iran in 5 Olympic weights. (all Olympic weights except 57kg)

 

now we elected a new wrestling federation president but I assume he won't change a thing for the next year. I think we will follow the same pattern for the Olympics.

 

to give you a better image, this is our trial final at 86kg freestyle in Tehran in packed 12000 stadium. with Olympic Champion Hassan Yazdani facing World U23 Champion Kamran Ghasempour

 

Yazdani is our only gold medal chance here, but still he has to wrestle the trials (and didn't receive a direct place in the world team) because Ghasempour was also pretty good and deserved a chance.

and that's an upset! :KAZ Dilmukhamedov just won* 3-0 against :RUS Vlasov in the -77kg! :yikes:

 

*with the nice participation of the ref, of course...who gave a doubtful caution to Vlasov for the 0-3 and then allowed the Kazakh to waste all the time he needed to takew the win home...

      It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.

      That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.

      Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.

      Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.

      The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games.
