Javan was weaker than I thought, but this whole weight did not play out the way I expected

To be fair, he is a young kid going against an Olympic and world champion.

He should a lot of hear getting a take down when he was down 9-0

You know, these games made me realize the value of great coaching

Valencia was a second rate wrestler who had not won anything big until now.

i don’t know when he switched to having DT as his coach, but DY turned a 28 year old second rate wrestler into a dominating world champion.

imagine if Iran had coaches like that to coach all the kids who won cadets and U21.

 

DT himself did not turn into a world beater until he was well into his 20s.

Iran guys seem to peak at 20-21 and never improve their wrestling.  I attribute that to lack of high level coaching.

my choices for Iran national team coach are DT or Carl Sanders.

Getting more realistic, my choices are Rassoul Kahdem, Reza Yazdani or Babak the Instagram announcer.

i think Babak would be great because he know the US style of wrestling and mentality.

Valencia beat an 18 year old just from cadets. I see you are really grasping at straws. I guess Zahid Valencia has not given you a great deal over the years . If you want to feel elated over meagre pickings who am I to stop you. Enjoy  

Hope you are well sir

No, I didn't expect him to win. After seeing the weight up to the semis I knew he would lose by some distance. What I mean is before the tournament I thought 61 was a bunch of guys who, in the absence of Ono, could all beat each other and it would be a bunch of close matches. Instead it turned out that if they wrestled that bracket 10 times Uguev would win it all 10 times.
