Can someone explain what was said in Iran's media regarding Amouzad's dad/family that was taken as if they were making fun of them?

Anyone wanna chime in on Danial Sohrabi's match against Ebrahim Ganeh of France? Was the ending justified... also the other wrestler, Vafa, lost to Japanese wrestler 5-5... I did not watch it... any comments on that one please

Did you guys see Abdevali wrestle in semis? I know it was a 5-1 defeat... curious to know how it really was... I remember how his brother, Saeed, unjustly lost to the French wrestler and in the Asian games I believe lost to the Korean wrestler, again unfairly.

Oh you are so correct about Zare. He is only a year older than Amouzad. They have to catch Abdollah Movahed and Yazdani to be considered Iran's GOAT.

Thank you. Appreciate that.

Wow thank you for that detailed response. I completely agree with you. It's also interesting you mentioned Amouzad moving up on weight. That is absolutely the right approach if he wants to keep wrestling. And you are absolutely right about the medal counts for Yazdani in comparison to Amouzad, 10 v 3 (counting Worlds and Olympics). Now speaking of Yazdani, if he doesn't wrestle anymore, where is his place in Iran's wrestling and also where would you place him all time in the world?

Guys, I’m curious to hear your thoughts on Rahman’s overall chances of becoming the greatest Iranian wrestler of all time. Of course, winning Olympic gold is a must, but considering he’s only 23, he could realistically compete into his early 30s. If he manages to rack up more World Championship golds and secure that Olympic gold, where would you rank him among Iran’s all-time greats?

Other than the USA, Iran, Japan, and Russia—nations that continue to develop and showcase their own top wrestlers—many other so-called “powerhouse” countries lean heavily on imported talent. A big share of these recruits come from Russia itself, with places like Bahrain fielding Russian wrestlers under their flag. This trend not only props up the results of those countries but also dilutes Russia’s own strength on the international stage. On top of that, the absence of Abdulrashid Sadulaev, one of Russia’s biggest stars, further hurt their chances of placing higher in the overall team rankings. Taken together, Russia’s performance looked subpar compared to its potential, largely because so many of its athletes were wearing different colors. Do you agree?
