Well, JB certainly would be in the conversation as one if the GOATs I am just not sure that he is still the top guy in 79. I like and respect him, I hope he goes out on top

Who do you see as the top 79 Kg wrestler?

People are indeed very high on Khalili, but my expectations are a bit more realistic. I do hope he will grow to 74 Kg in time for the 2028 Olympics. I have personally given up on Amir Yazdani

Pico was good but not the best at his age group in the world.

Khormdel is in fact going to replace Khalili in the U23 now

I suspect they selected him, because of his readiness. He was supposed to go to Albania for the U23, so he was ready. He is an outstanding young wrestler, but probably not ready to be at the top level for seniors

in 70 kg, amir Yazdani has a broken hand that has not recovered in time to participate in the world championship in Albania. He will be replaced by Sina Khalili https://khanehkoshti.ir/سینا-خلیلی-جایگزین-امیرمحمد-یزدانی-در/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cvz6azltFXW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

So, we will either get 2 on one side of the bracket or all three on the same side. i would love it if all three end up on the same side so we hopefully get all three go against each other I know that would suck for the guy who gets 5th place, but it’s the best outcome for the fans. This is assuming all three show up close to their top form. I have my doubts about Sadulaev, but would love to be proven wrong

I am hoping all three will be in the same side of the bracket so we will get to see all three wrestle each other

I think so. If the the top three guys show up anywhere near their top form it will be an epic competition

Albania finally granted visas to the Iranian delegation we can now focus on the wrestling cannot wait to watch the 92 kg matches As far as I know ghassempour is undefeated in 92 kg his only losses are in 86 to Hassan Yazdani and a couple when he experimented in 97

With one week to go, Albania still has not issued visas to the Iranian delegation. it seems to me, the should require the host country to agree to issue visas to all the participants, before granting hosting of the world championship. iran does not get to host another wild chmpionship because they refuse to issue visa to the Israelis. I agree with that. Similarly , Albania should not be the hot unless they Guarantee to issue visas to all participants

For what it's worth, the Iranian media have not listed anyone by name of Saulaev yet

I am not aware of any weight allowance, but that is the weight that Sadulaev is wrestling at the world championship

I just hope they all get to compete Sadulaev needs to be confirmed as eligible, and Iranian delegation still have not been granted visas by the Albanians

from the UWW feed Who will come out on top of the deepest bracket for the 2024 Senior World Championships?

Iran and Russia are FS teams are also participating in this duel meet. Iran sending its A team, minus the injured (Hassan Yazdani and Azarpira will be absent). It's interesting that Ghassempour will wrestle at 86 Kg

Thanks .correction, to be exact, he would match the record for senior men’s freestyle wrestling

If he medals in this world championship, he will tie the world record of having 10 world medals. https://www.isna.ir/news/1403071612849/جردن-باروز-در-یک-قدمی-رکورد-۳۰-ساله-کشتی-جهان
