So asian wrestling championships has been taking place this week. Iran surprisingly became 2nd in team ranking after Kazakstan in Greco even though we won 4 gold medals. Although to be fair the team was pretty young and inexperienced.
Freestyle started today. Iran won 3 out of 5 golds in the first day but is behind India in team points. Mohammadian got the gold easily as expected. Savadkouhi won gold too. But the best moment was Iran's greatest wrestling prospect 19 year old Amouzad winning gold in his first 65kg outing since moving up in weight by beating Bajrang one of the world's best in this weight. 65kg is an Olympic weight and is considered freestyle's toughest and most congested weight and one in which Iran hasn't done well for many years. Let's hope amouzad can continue his progress and reach his immense potential.
