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...

    • There is a saying to never trust a Russian in gymnastics. Well, ex-Russian turned Bulgarian Elvira Krasnobaeva is transferring now to Armenia.   The "official" reason is for personal, family matters, but in reality it's most likely because she wasn't selected for Paris, which angered her parents. Even though she is only 16, had her breakthrough just this year and started making mistakes, when they amped up the difficulty.   Our Federation's President Iliana Raeva said today, that she received calls also from France and Azerbaijan about Elvira's mother basically auctioning her. Raeva mentioned, that Krasnobaeva was going to be a vocal point in the next Olympic cycle, but now she can hit the road and missed her chance to ever compete for Bulgaria, even if she wanted to in the future.    We are also going to make a new Group from next season. After the disappointment in Paris, 4 out of the 5 girls announced their retirement.
    • true, but was expecting India to get troubles from Australia, not from New Zealand, and specially not by being bowled out. Makes the group phase interesting though 
    • The 4th best team in the world beating the 3rd best team in the world is not a huge surprise though.
