Thanks for your work @Ata.

We got 15/16 in terms of medal at the end.
Only the 75Kg Greco guy who was the third or fourth choice in that weighted returned home without medal.

Tomorrow and on Friday we will have National Trials in both Freestyle and Greco-Roman (plus pahlevani).

Start list for day one is available here http://iawf.ir/Contents/49975/%D8%B1...DB%8C%20-.aspx

Competition will be broadcasted on TV3.
Session will be held from 9h to 14h while session will be held from 16h to 20h on both days (Tehran Time).

Unfortunately, on thursday TV broadcast will be only from 9:30 to 10:30 and then 17:30 to 19:15.

Bad news, Ramin Taheri (Gr 80Kg) is out for WC in Paris because of knee injury (torn ACL) which needs surgery.
He already had to withdraw from Trials because of this injury but now he is out for a long time.

In my opinion he was the best medal chance for us in Greco Roman this year, even gold was possible with him.
Now we will be lucky even with 1 bronze.

Both FR and GR teams are yet to be announced, in some weights wrestlers will be send to international tournaments to determine final composition.

After Taheri, now Hassan Rahimi is also out for world championships.
He will also have to undergo knee surgery.
