I assume Ghassempour has ambitions for an Olympic medal.
at 86 he had a virtual guarantee to make the team with only A young Rahmati posing a threat, and an excellent chance of medaling
at 97 he is a long shot to make the team with Azarpira, Yazdani and probably Firouzpour in his way. If some miracle, he makes the team, he does not have a good chance of making team with the likes of Taj, Sad and Snyder competing
He know this and will do everything possible to make 86
