A@Irani Who do you think is Iran's rep at 125kg in 2028? What is the sentiment in Iran? Does it feel inevitable that Masoumi takes the spot, or do the fans love Zare?

I can only express my personal opinion.  I would love to see Masoumi take over the spot, but so far Zare has completely dominated him, and none of their matches have been close.  Masoumi is probably top 4 in the world, but there appears to be a big gap between him and Zare at the moment.

Masoumi is still very young and I am hoping that he will continue to improve.

Mirzazadeh is the best Greco 130 kg in the world. He turned Semenov and beat him. He now has wins over every other top ranked wreslter. Mirzazadeh is not at the level of a Lopez or Balboshin, he is more like this era's Baroev. Still he should win the next Olympic gold barring some Russian/Cuban prodigy emerging or an upset.

I think Fardin Hedayati is right on his heels and will give him some tough competition

I think I remember him. He is the one who bear Kayaalp in his last tournament before the drug ban. Maybe he will beat Mirzazadeh . That's why I think Mirzazadeh is this era's Baroev.

You are correct

I wonder what Riza's plan is. He has an enormous ego and I wouldn't put it past him to return just to get the European medal record. The continent is still pitiful at that weight (a lot of weights now) and he probably would be favorite. 

I don't think old man Kayaalp fancies his chances against Iran's heavyweights in 28, maybe for the better for Riza since  he'd put himself through the grind again. Riza's not a naturally big guy, holding all that weight can't be healthy for him.
