Tediashvili, Levan Gold at 82 and 90, silver at 100 5.Fadzayev, Aresn - gold at 68, silver at 74 6. Takhti, Gholamreza - Silver at 79, Gold at 87, Silver at 97 7. Habibi, emamali - gold at 67 and 73 8, Dabir, Alireza - Gold at 58, silver at 63 and 66 I am sure there are many others, who else stands out to you?

Yeah, I never look at Jadidi as a top tier wrestler, but I guess his medals would argue otherwise I guess we should add Javadi and Rasul Khadem to the list as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good point, that doping will exclude him from this list then :) This is a very selective and exclusive list :) 1 gimpeltf reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pamela 1,272 Report post Posted May 21 I think Salas has world medals in 2 or 3 weights? There are a whole bunch in WFS, but interestingly you also see a lot of excellent wrestlers like Maroulis, Pirozkhova, Koblova, Mattsson and a whole bunch from Japan move down weight classes and win multiple medals. 1 irani reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
