He called him a traitor and Gazyumov ( AZE head coach and 2016 olympic silver) got into it with Mamiashvili afterwards apparently.

That was 9 years ago

Azarpira won't be at the Takhti. Whoever wins the Takhti at 97 will go to some tournaments (without Azarpira) and if they are "successful" in those tournaments they can go to a foreign tournament with Azarpira or directly wrestle him for a spot on the team based off what the coaches decide. In the wrestle off they would need to beat him twice but he would only need to beat them once. And yes, I think it is unfair to Masoumi. They should let him go to worlds if he wins Takhti, especially since Zare will be at the Takhti anyway, but that is not the path they want to go. Zare seems to choke/lose every other year and Masoumi seems about as good against foreign competition but as is always the case in Iran world medalists are protected until the bitter end. They are even protecting Younes Emami of all people.

They announced the trials procedure for the rest of the year now that the Asian champs and other recent tournaments have concluded. Amouzad at 65 and Firouzpur at 92 are confirmed 2025 world team members with no further trial or foreign tournament. They are on the team. With the news of Firouzpour being the world team member I think it confirms we wont see Yazdani return this year. Some other guys like Ghasempour at 86 and Zare at 125 just need to win the Takhti cup to be on the team. So if Masoumi wins the Takhti even with Zare being in the bracket he would still need to beat him in a separate trial or outperform him in a foreign tournament. I heard from a good source Masoumi will wrestle for another country if he doesn't make the team very soon.

I don't think you can pick your sport in China

Masoumi was a cadet in 2021. So.. 2022 , 2023 and 2024? Im not sure if it is exactly 3 times but it could be. Their matches aren't very memorable aside from the one where Masoumi tried to punk him lol

Thought pretender previously. Think he's legit now. He's younger than I thought also. I thought he was mid 20s for some reason. I wonder why we never saw him at junior worlds.

Yes, better than he ever has. Much improved.

We just saw the next Gadisov. Rahmani wins asian champs aged 18. He will be great

Peaked at cadets you mean, he has no positive junior results. He turned 18 in January, so he still has a few years as a junior to go. I think if this other guy flops at 61 at asian juniors they may give him another chance.

After the armenia junior tournament our junior fs team is set for at least the asian champs. Khateri won't be on it, he flopped and got DNP at 61. The other guy came 5th. Soleimanian came second at 86. I think they will send Rahmani now that senior 86 is filled with Ghasempour

Haven't heard anything about him going up. The head coach at the time of the olympic games spoke about the final and basically just said Kiyooka was a bad matchup for him.

I dont think Amouzad can beat Kiyooka but we will see

Yaz has beat him every time, as Truzzcat said. There was no point in any of the matches where I thought Ghasempour could win, even if the scoreline wasn't too wide in some of their later matches. They are close enough in age where that is not a factor to Ghasempour finally getting one over Yaz. I think the only reason to pick Ghasempour would be Yaz being diminished from his injury, which is very possible.
