Azarpira didn't know what hit him he was getting bullied for most of the match

LOL

Yep. Check the history of Iranian golds at Olympics. Im talking just freestyle. It's really pathetic for a wrestling country. If Azarpira dominates Snyder it will actually somewhat piss me off. Our guys really are chockers!

This is hilarious. OF COURSE in the year after the Olympics they can't stop winning golds at Olympic weights. It's the most Iranian wrestling thing I have ever seen.

They didn't select Javan, he simply won all the stages of the trials process. They selected Yazdani at 70 and it was a disaster. Khalili at least would have gained some experience. I would say they selected Yazdani ( brought him down from 74 to 70 - result DNP) , Emami ( gave him an extra chance to make the team at the ranking tournament for no reason after losing to Yazdani in the Takhti final - result DNP) and Nokhodi ( Wrestled 0 matches since last worlds - result bronze). Outside of those 3 wrestlers everyone else made the team on their own merit. The ones they selected underperformed. IMO if you are going to force someone on the team he absolutely must medal, and maybe even must win a gold.

India 0 medals in FS?

I agree they should get rid of him

Ok, and David Taylor's heavyweight was completely terrible and went for a head pinch at 125kg which got him teched against a guy he had beat before. I don't think it's fair to put it all on 86. Azapira has wrestled two matches this entire year and is in the final.

They already said he is coming back at 97. Not sure what will happen. I assume he can only get worse as a wrestler from here due to his age and injuries. Firouzpour and him have never wrestled. Valencia was a buzzsaw. I was super impressed with him. I think he was just an inconsistent guy who always had great athleticism and ability. It would be hard for any coach to stop a guy in that form. On paper Ghasempour was/is better but i'm not sure any coach would have reversed that. Especially if part of it was weight cut related.

I think he recovered. Probably see him in some tournaments next year.

Mat side advice is basically pointless. I wouldn't judge him on that. The coaching is done during training. I think he is a good coach, but a very irritating personality. Sometimes you want to reach through the screen and strangle him, lol.

Yes. This group won 5 golds ( like the USA) at 2021 junior worlds in Russia

There was a lot of attacks on the coaches. We won the team title. To be honest, I would still get rid of Dorostkar as head coach. Simply because he is annoying. Im sure he is fine coach, but his antics are very irritating. Feels like he wants to play to the camera. Get the big man Reza Yazdani in there. At least he adds a bit of intimidation factor. I really hate seeing Dorostkar in the corner. But the attacks on him as a coach are obviously unfair.

No, iran won the title

Yolo fleeing. May as well attempt it

Yes, assumed it would be similar to the former soviet states.

I'm going to guess they get an apartment or something.

Imagine wrestling this Gorilla with one knee. Brutal

What's to stop someone from faking an injury in that situation and getting out of it without giving up points. Not saying Valiev is doing that.

Glad NK won. All the points were off his attacks. He has a lot of heart.

This final is awesome

He has improved every match. After his first match I thought he would lose to India

No td i think

I would be surprised if Snyder beat Azarpira tomorrow, but it has been a surprising tournament, so who knows

His dad is Iranian. He's not a transfer or anything.
