Firouzpour isn't 24 unless you are saying he age cheated to win junior worlds (u20) in 2022. They are 1 year apart and Firouzpour beat him easily when they wrestled at 92. Azimi is too big for 86, which is probably why he lost to akbari and the same reason azarpira lost to valencia. He will have to get past Azarpira, Firouzpour and Hajilouian. Hajilouian and Firouzpour have both beat him easily and I don't believe he has wrestled Azarpira. All these guys are early 20s. His best bet is to stick around at 92 and wait until Firouzpour goes up. But if he wants to be an Olympian he needs to beat these guys at 97.

He has to make it through the trials procedure which is a long process of domestic and foreign tournaments. He is going to compete at the Croatia ranking tournament early February. I think Emami will still be the rep this year at worlds.

He already went to 86 last year and lost to 700 year old ezzatollah akbari. Good luck to Azimi but unless a few guys around his age get injured I don't see him making a world team. The real talented wrestler from that part of Iran was 2018 cadet world champ ghiasi who unfortunately stopped wrestling

Dabir says Yazdani now weighs 100kg and is unlikely to wrestle 86 again. He will return at 92 or 97. Ghasempour on the other hand is 89 kilos. We will see if he can make the team after all the injuries and getting older. If he does be could have senior medals from 70 - 97 kg which I am not sure has been done before. But getting past Azarpira will be hard.

Yes, but a relatively weak team Amir Yazdani at 74. I think this is his new weight now. Hajilouian who recently won silver at u23 worlds is going at 97. Hashemi is the third best 125 in Iran and will be there. Some other non notable names who will lose in the early rounds. The better team is going to the Croatia ranking tournament

The national champs. Of course with a lot of wrestlers missing due to being exempt from this stage of the trial 57 - Valizadeh 61 - Javan 65 - Rezaei 70 - Elahi 74 - Abzori 79 - Babai 86 - Soheili 92 - Azimi 97 - Goleij 125 - Hashemi At 57 and 61 any number of guys can make the team. They are all around the same ( not medal calibre) level. Rezaei at 65 teched everyone, we will see what he can do with Amouzad who for all the talk of him being too big seems to be staying at 65. Kiyooka really destroyed the best version of Amouzad ever in Paris. 70 guy is a cadet world champ from 2022 and beat Khalili in the junior trials last year before losing to Karampour in the final who got bronze at junior worlds. We will see if he can derail Khalili's deserved hype by beating him again. 74 winner beat Emami in a tournament last year as part of the olympic trials but then got destroyed by Nolf in the final and lost at Asian champs so they sent Emami anyway as he qualified the weight. The rest of them from 79 and up have a very small shot of making the team over the established guys I think.

Hello all, glad to see this thread again Senior nationals are going on right now for FS. Today was the 1st day. No real big news. Goleij beat Bazri in the semi at 97 and will almost certainly beat Babaloo in the final tomorrow. So he will likely be Azarpira's obstacle in making the 2025 world team. 57 still very weak. Sarlak and Veisi lost to an unknown guy from Qom in the last seconds, lol. The final will be the Qom guy vs Valizadeh who went to junior worlds this year but had the results of DNP. He beat 17 year old Khateri 8 - 5 in the semi. I think none of these guys, including Sarlak who has to be around 25 or 26, would medal at junior worlds let alone senior.
