55kg: Mohammad Faghiri
60kg: Mohammad Nourbaksh
66kg: Afshin Biabangard
74kg: Hadi Alizadeh
84kg: Taleb Nematpour
96kg: Mahdi Aliyari
120kg: Amir Aliakbari
Today we have 3 wrestlers in 60, 84 and 96kg..
In 60kg Mohammad Nourbakhsh has a hard draw, I think he has no chance for a medal. He has Olympic Silver medalist Revaz Lashkhi (GEO) and many other good wrestlers in his bracket.
In 84kg one of our only medal hopes Nematpour has a decent draw, he can medal but it wont be easy, he has Venezuela first then probably Belarus and then probably Turkey.. Fingers crossed for him
In 96kg Mahdi Aliyari has a very hard first match againt Artur Aleksanyan (ARM) 2012 Olympic bronze medalist, they wrestled at this years Universiade and Aliyari did very well, he lost 3-3 in a very tight match. Aleksanyan is the best wrestler in his bracket so if he beats him then at least on paper he should be able to beat everyone else to make the final but I wont make any predictions.
