Iran U23 team

70kg: Jamal Ebadi

74kg: trial between Mohammad Motaghinia vs Hamidreza Zarinpeikar

86kg: Alireza Karimi

97kg: Mojtaba Goleij *

they will decide about Sadeghi and Goleij after the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games in Turkmenistan

 

beside that there are rumors in Iran that Iran Wrestling Federation will ban 3 wrestlers from the next year trials, Ehsanpour, Yarahmadi and Amir Mohammadi.

Any specific reason for the rumored bans?

[wrestfan 601]

Any specific reason for the rumored bans?

 

Because they were poor in Paris ! and they believe this is not a good idea to give them another chance

 

nobody confirmed this though but they changed the trial rules, with new rules qualifying for the final trials is not enough, the technical committee has to approve all wrestlers.

[wrestfan 601]

Kurbanaliev must be very out of form to lose to a wrestler at the calibre of Dadashpour. 

 

indeed, he even lost to an unknown guy later

 

One of the few interesting things here is the return of Ahmad Mohammadi, and it seems he is fully recovered.

Thanks.  I thought by the term "suspended" they may have violated some rules.

Glad Ahmad is back. Super fun to watch him.

[Shiraz123 611]

Whats with all these crap wrestlers Iran has at 57? Even Sarmasti is losing to Hajaghania now who is nothing. I heard Rahimi is going to 61 so the 57 weight is completely over for Iran with wrestlers like Sarmasti, Atri and Hajaghania.

[Shiraz123 611]

U-23 Freestyle team for next week:

 

57: Reza Atri

61: Iman Sadeghi ( 2014 and 2015 Junior worlds champ)

65: Younes Imami (JW Bronze at 61 2017, Kolov gold at 65)

70: Hamid Zarinpeykar

74: Mohammad Motaghinia (JW bronze 2017, Medved silver 2017)

86: Alireza Karimi (JW champ 2014, World bronze 2015) 

97: Mojtaba Goleij (JW champ 2015)

125: Amin Taheri (JW Silver 2015)

Will they get Visas with the updated travel ban now in place?

[de4856 359]

Well I believe, that the Iranians will bring a real strong team, which will be great for our wrestlers and the fans.

[irani 651]

Will they get Visas with the updated travel ban now in place?

That is a legitimate question.  I, of course, do not have the answer, but I suspect if the US refuses to give them Visas, the world cup will be hosted somewhere else

[wrestfan 601]

Rasoul Khadem is now officially the head coach for Iran freestyle team. this is better than coaching the team over the phone lol

 

here is Iran's roster for the Asian Champs.

 

57; Reza Atri or Nader Hajaghania

61; Iman Sadeghi

65; Younes Emami or Peiman Biabani

70; Ahmad Mohammadi

74; Mostafa Hosseinkhani or Hamdi Reza Zarinpeikar or Bahman Teymouri

79; Ezzatollah Akbari or Omid Hassantabar

86; Alireza Karimi or Kamran Ghasempour

92; Hassan Yazdani or Javad Ebrahimi

97; Mojtaba Goleij or Hossein Shahbazi

125; Amin Taheri or Yadollah Mohebbi

[Shiraz123 611]

It's not right what they did with Talei. Khadem would not have done much different with that poor Paris team either. Was Khadem not at the mat when Nasiri got beat in Rio? Some wrestlers are bad regardless of the coach.

97; Mojtaba Goleij or Hossein Shahbazi

125; Amin Taheri or Yadollah Mohebbi

Wow, Yazdani going up again, now to 92kg?

[wrestfan 601]

Wow, Yazdani going up again, now to 92kg?

 

with this rate, we will see him in super heavyweight in Tokyo 2020 LOL  just kidding

 

most probably only for this tournament, even though I'm not sure if they send him to the Asian Champs after all. but it's hard to make weight for multiple tournaments in a  year with this new weight-in rule. there will be World Cup, Asian Games and World Champonships this year.

 

they don't like these new weight-in rules in Iran at all.

[wrestfan 601]

agreed but you can't deny his charisma . wrestlers really listen to him. they lost so many close matches in Paris. Atri, Nasiri, Hosseinkhani, Mohebbi, Ehsanpour, they all lost narrowly to eventual bronze medalists. maybe they could win some of them with Khadem near the mat.

 

this is his team after all, it's better if he coaches the team himself. of course if you look at the Asian team roster, you really can't see a "great team" there. beside Yazdani, I see only Ahmad Mohammadi as a possible medal contender at the worlds. but who knows,

 

they are still waiting for Komeil and Rahimi to be ready, even though Rahimi made it clear that he is not going to cut weigh for 57kg. simply impossible for him with new rules. they have to stick with Atri !

 

and they really expelled Amir Mohammadi, Ehsanpour and Nasiri from the national team ! they have to work hard winning the trials to maybe have a chance. just maybe.

Why not stay at 86 and get those easy gold medals

[Billyhoyle 1,987]

Why not stay at 86 and get those easy gold medals

No way. The guy is on a mission. Gold ahead of Burroughs in 2016. He moved up to face Sadulaev in 2017-didn't get the opportunity. So he moved up again in 2018 to face Sadulaev. After he wins that he will go to 97 to face Snyder in 2019. Then he works his way up to HWT and beats Pietrishvili in 2020.

 

Or maybe he's running from David Taylor.

Edited January 29, 2018 by Billyhoyle

[Shiraz123 611]

I agree he beats those guys but it will be hard on the body

[PRyan2012 343]

Yazdani will lose to Taylor or Sad whatever weight he choses. Mark that down:-) Really Taylor's style is perfect to beat him again.

[Shiraz123 611]

Sorry but Taylor got destroyed by Lashgari and barely beat this impoverished Cuban 4-4. Even Yasar only 4-1 when Yazdani teched Yasar a few months back. Not to mention a disabled Cox on 1 leg beat him. This is why he should stay at 86 and relax there winning easy golds.

I do hear you but Taylor's style perfect for Yazdani. We will see I guess hopefully very soon. Taylor struggles with defensive bulls-very strong guys. Yazdani is not that guy and I think Taylor is simply a bad matchup for him.
