She didn’t keep the diary when it happened. There’s no indication of how old she was. And there’s definitely no indication they had sex, as you claim. -

I will guess he isn't actually from Hormozgan. Vahabian who just came second at cadet worlds at 71kg represents Gilan but is from Mazandaran. Not 100% but I will assume he is from elsewhere.

Imagine if someone offered something at a much deeper level including breakdowns by initiation by side, defensive measures, second per move, seconds per adjustment and/ or reattach, and much more for the senior team free of charge if the tape could be provided. Yep. Just imagine. Unrelated but has anyone noticed all the ghosts recently?

You picked 2018 which had 2 AAs that both didn’t place in 22 ( Red and Eierman) and Perry was basically a .500 career wrestler and Lee placed both years..I think Lee, Seabass, Woods Alirez and Micic definitely place in 2018 bracket and I’d like Composto and Matthews chances against the R12 losers from that year as well …those 2009 and 2015 brackets are a different story

He’ll always have a job as a fluffer -
Trump stopped the NWO. Wokeism has been slowed to a halt. Commies are,pissed.

Use must be very uninformed. He brokered a peace deals between AZE and Armenia. Cambodia and Thailand, India and Pakistan and the Abraham Accords. There are others, but you get the point.

Are you saying this for real or are you joking? Please don’t tell me you’re serious.

Hamid Sourian, Takhti, Dabir - all Olympic champs, all from Tehran. And then Olympic medalists like Molaghasemi, Naser Givehchi, Mojtabavi, Khojastehpour, Seyfpour, Sanatkaran, Ali Akbar Heydari, Alireza Heydari, SeyedAbbasi, Abbas Jadidi ....

Headline: 'Progressive snowflake era' over as Hollywood studios abandon woke programming. Looks like wokester wingers like rv may be on their way out. -
Wrestling as a whole might be the national sport of the country but like Russia other sports are far more popular and widespread. Football is very widespread and everyone plays it and follows it. The only other sport I think has mass appeal is volleyball and even then that is hyper focussed in the West Azerbaijan and Golestan provinces. Urmia the capital city of West Azerbaijan province is essentially Volleyball's Jouybar. The vast majority of top talent in Iran have come from one city in one province. Going back to wrestling, absolutely Persian's do wrestle think the Geraei's, Khadem's, Hamid Sourian etc and more recently Gholamreza Farrokhi, Abbas Ebrahimzadeh, Amir Ali Azarpira. It's just that if you want to be a top tier wrestler the likelihood of achieving that in Freestyle and not being from Mazandaran is incredibly low. Every suburb has at least one wrestling gym with top tier coaches and pretty much every kid wrestles. You would have more chance of doing so in Greco which Mazani's don't really do. Wrestling isn't really one ethnic groups' sport pretty much every ethnic group in the country has some form of wrestling. Whether that's Kurd's (Azimi), Bakhtiari's (Mirzazadeh, Esmaeili), Mazani's (Yazdani's, Ghasempour), Baloch, Turkmen etc. It just so happens that in certain regions greater investment and development has been done to translate their wrestling style into olympic styles so that's why Bakhtiari's in Khuzestan pretty much all do Greco and Mazani's pretty much only freestyle. Of course there are exceptions to that rule such as Saravi and Ghasem Rezaei but for the most part they don't really mix styles. Ethno-linguistic identity is quite complex in Iran as most of the ethnic groups mix together and are far less socially isolated nowadays. So even the term Persian is quite ambiguous as it more or less includes everyone but Arabs, Kurds, Baloch, Armenians/Assyrian/Chaldean and Turkic groups (Turkmen, Azeri etc). However, even then I imagine that is up for discussion and debate as well. Of course those who are more knowledgeable on this topic can also chime in and correct me but I think that's a relatively accurate assessment.

Size matters: Height, weights for NCAA heavyweight champs
Cornell Kevin commented on InterMat Staff's article in College
Didn’t Kurt Angle only weigh 209 when he won his title? -
I meant more so in the aggregate and for the creme de la creme, not in absolute terms. I was thinking about the eastern origin wrestler who medaled at 57 kg while writing the original comment. The situation in Russia is that slavic Russians (the majority of the nation) have no footprint in wrestling (freestyle). Is it that truncated in Iran? There are ethnic Persian wrestlers, right?

It was for the most part Dagestan and North Ossetia but other republics have also done decently well in the last couple of years. Lev Pavlov and Konstantin Kapyrnov are Yakutsk, Nachyn Mongush is Tuvan, Magomed Eltemirov, Khalid Yakhiev, Azamat Zakuev and the Khizriev brothers are all Chechen. These guys have all either won or ended up on the podium at Yaryguin and/or Russian Nationals in the last 2 years. Of course this is a very isolated sample and not all the top guys compete at these tournaments but it shows that it's not just Dagestan and North Ossetia over there whereas in Iran it's pretty much Mazandaran and sometimes Tehran.

White Conservatives are the biggest threat

He literally set records in the Primary. -
What do you mean by that? Did something major happen at Russian Nationals. I thought it was the same old provinces winning when I skimmed the results. Aren't almost all their top wrestlers still from Dagestan and Ossetia?

Has there ever been a candidate that got the support of all of their party? -
Don't know what that means.
