Mat side advice is basically pointless. I wouldn't judge him on that. The coaching is done during training. I think he is a good coach, but a very irritating personality. Sometimes you want to reach through the screen and strangle him, lol.

But, does Kurugliev plan on making one last go for the Olympics? You got to think a big part of his physicality and improvements in those regards are due to him having Kurugliev as a training partner.

Who does Kougioumtsidis train with?

gadzhi up 6-0 doing a great job neutralizing hidlay's underhook so far

Not even close. I will take more individual goals for no team title any day

I am one of the people who wants him fired. I don't see any evidence that he and his team do a good job of analyzing their opponents well. I have never seen him yell good advice to the wresltlers. I saw a video on Instragram were he yells "push him" and then after Zare gets taked down, he yells "why are you pushing him for no reason?" I like the idea of Reza Yazani. I also like the idea of Babak as a coach or at least assistant coacj

i feel like a lot of people were saying this about zahid given his previous performances..

It's lunch time and I'm having a GOLDEN HOAGIE

congrats on the team title, guys

Hidlay should win this, right? This guy lost to Mike Mach?

Also can't wait for some of your Greco guys. Saravi my favorite wrestler in all Greco Esmaeili and the 130kg guys are also legit.

Yes. This group won 5 golds ( like the USA) at 2021 junior worlds in Russia

If I remember correctly, Iran had a great run in U17 and U20 with this group of guys (and their peers). They are now enjoying the fruits of their harvest.

Do you guys value team title more or individual golds with no team title.

There was a lot of attacks on the coaches. We won the team title. To be honest, I would still get rid of Dorostkar as head coach. Simply because he is annoying. Im sure he is fine coach, but his antics are very irritating. Feels like he wants to play to the camera. Get the big man Reza Yazdani in there. At least he adds a bit of intimidation factor. I really hate seeing Dorostkar in the corner. But the attacks on him as a coach are obviously unfair.

Carr is the best we have at 74kg, and he did a great job. That was a tough weight class. Sidakov is no joke.

Congrats for the team title . It's confirmed .

Well Azarpira V Snyder still worth the wait..

u17 and u20 are developmental tournaments. The whole purpose of those tournaments is to prepare for Worlds. They won the tournament that those tournaments are preparing for. They are very happy and what happened at u17s doesn't take away from today even a tiny bit for them.

Ha..others beat me to it...all the incoming comments are blocked by ads. So annoying.

Thank you. You are a class act.

I wonder if Kougioumtsidis goes up to 86 now that he's got his title? He looks so physical at 79 and struggled at 74 in the olympic year. If I were in his camp, I'd want him to push all his chips into the 86kg pot now.

No, iran won the title

He could still be formidable at 86 in time

The only thing they are okay with is the way seniors went. Their tournament at U17s was a good showing but may be the one of the biggest chokes I've ever seen
