Because Ghasempour wasn't supposed to lose to him.

Zahid in his prime thru 28 probably. Snyder wayyy past his prime in 28. Hidley will go up. Most will probably bulk rather than face Zahid. I really can't believe I would say run from him to Snyder if your big enough.

Congrats zare win gold.

I think he would retire and go into coaching before he leaves Iowa personally. I also do not think its an Iowa problem for him specifically I think he has a mental block.

Why are all the Iranians so angry at Zahid on Instagram?

If Hidlay wins it all this year, I'm setting alarms RIGHT NOW for OTT 2028 day 1 and 2. Those who do not learn from their 92kg world champ history are doomed to repeat it.

I felt bad for the guy after the suspension so this so nice to see him win in such dominant fashion.

I had it wrong, BTW. Dake did it in '18 and Cox in '19.

Making it and being effective are two different things, especially three years from now. Zahid will be 31 but Hidlay will be 29 himself. And who knows what weight Brooks goes when USADA and WADA are testing him 6x/wk

Great job D3!

Yup. Always a little anecdote for the nepo-baby. Be careful though, maybe you haven’t heard- daddy is a lawyer!

Hidlay said recently that he’s not too big for 86, and would probably go down. That was within the past couple weeks. Obv things can change.

Okay... that's it for yours truly. Got stuff to do. Sayonara! D3

Zare wins the gold 5-0. D3

Zare is a fvcking animal. He would have ripped Hendrickson's head clean off. Peak 2021 Gable would have trouble with this version of Zare and would have been a heck of a rivalry...

The Iranians LOVE them underhooks! D3

Hey Jeff! The word you’re looking for is “regress.” Digress means to basically go off on a tangent during a conversation. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Wow... never did I see a guy so immense, moves so fast as Zare did for the TD Called a slip throw... no TD for you! D3

Last Match Of The Day D3

Hidlay definitely isn't going down. Martsteller probably can't make 79 effectively anymore and has probably peaked. Starocci could very well be the next Nolf/Ringer on the senior circuit. McEnally appears to be next up and on trajectory to be Zahid's biggest competition between now and April 2028.

Big boys coming up... Enter the bronze medal match wrestlers! D3

That's absolutely true! 10-0 over Dahiya India, Benferdjallah of Tunisia, Samsusonok, Latvia, 7-0 over Ghasempour, Iran & 11-0 over Ishiguro, Japan. Lot of technical points scored here. Awesome performance. D3

Everyone else may need to go down (Dake) or up in weight (Hidlay, Starocci, Marsteller, McCenelly) after Zahid's dominance ... though they might not do so

Killer! Man did his conditioning pull a 180. So happy to see him win it all
