Khalili looked like he is next in line of great Iranian wrestlers. Also was very impressed by Sayar, Khateri, Pirdayeh and Hosseini.

Amirhossein Abdevali got bronze but he will be a major problem at super heavyweight in the next decade+ if he continues to develop... With Mijain lopez and Riza Kayalp out of the picture long term, somebody will need to take the throne, maybe it can be him (ofc a long long way to go)
He is the brother of Saeid abdevali, one of our best in Greco ever talent wise.

U20 Worlds: New stars in focus; Iran aims Freestyle title defense | United World Wrestling
AMMAN, Jordan (August 7) -- A week after the U17 World Championships ended in Istanbul, Turkiye, top wrestlers in the U20 age category will assemble in Amman, Jordan for the World Championships in that age group.
The Jordan capital, which hosted the U15 and U20 Asian Championships in July, will see 672 wrestlers in three different styles with Freestyle kicking off the championships on August 14.
Iran will once again be the favorite to win the team title in Freestyle as it boasts of wrestlers including defending champion at 125kg Amirreza MASOUMI (IRI). The United States finished second last year and will look to upset Iran this time as it brings Luke LILLEDAHL (USA), Meyer SHAPIRO (USA), Mitchell MESENBRINK (USA) and Bennett BERGE (USA).
Iran will be the favorite to defend its team title in Greco-Roman as well as it has named Ali AHMADI VAFA (IRI), 2021 U20 world champ Amirreza DEHBOZORGI (IRI), Alireza ABDEVALI (IRI), and returning silver medalists Abolfazl CHOUBANI (IRI) and Fardin HEDAYATI (IRI).
No doubt the Individual Neutral Athletes will affect the podium finishes this year but Georgia, Armenia and Ukraine are also sending strong Greco-Roman squads to Amman.

This years worlds will be good. Make room to watch 79 kilograms as JB is out after loosing final x, and Marsteller is representing USA after even fights and controversies. Marsteller actually won by low stancing and fast leg shots.Originally posted by diz View Post
Good news is JB is out. Marsteller record is a kind of flukish quite narrow win over savadkoohi after lucky badalkaari in clinch quite recently. He wont be able to repeat it. Other than that nokhodi has completely outclassed him with TF win. Either case iran is heavy favs in 79 kg.Comment

This years worlds we will see dominance by Iran in heavier weight classes. Ie the upper half of weightclasses. We have gold medal contenders in 120, 97, 92, 86 and 79. We also have good medal contenders in 74 kgs and 70 kgs and gold medal contender in 65kgs.
The biggest difference from previous years is that since last year we have a gold medal winner in 65 kgs finally and we have a serious gold medal contender in 79 kgs.
Its becoming more and more apparant that 57kg and 61 are our problem classes. The wrestling federation seriously needs to do something about it. What suggestions do you guys have? What are we missing in these clases in senior level eventhough we fortunately become less and less gad kotoleh in recent years.Comment

His stance isnt as low as Amouzads but they pretty much have identical technique and style. When I come to think of it Amouzads full surname is Amouzad Khalili. Are they by any chance related?Originally posted by diz View PostKhalili’s gold medal match U17 World Championship 2023

We are sending milad valizadeh, super young guy at 57kg i believeOriginally posted by AGC View PostComment

Am I getting you right to interpret that wrestling federation thinks the heck with it and are trying to start from scratch? I would go for that too personally. I have been so seriously dissappointed by performances in 57 and 61 kg lately and feel that we have nothing to loose.Originally posted by inarsenewetrust View Post
We need faster wrestlers in 57 and 61. If they were smart they would go for the fastest guys in the weight class and just build on their technique. I believe they did something similiar in nokhodi or someone around that weight class in Oslo Worlds. They just picked up a super athletic guy and started to work on his technique.Comment

Here are Khateri (FS 45 kg) and Pirdayeh (FS 60 kg) Final matches in the 2023 U17 World Champs.
Depending on how their bodies develop, they may be good candidates for lower weight classes in our senior FS teams (especially Khateri).

u20 finals happening today.
Shakeri beat mendez to win gold at 65kg.
Masoumi, Azimi, Rezaei also wrestling for gold. Iran currently slightly ahead of US in the team rankings, but most of our finalists will be in direct contention with them in gold medal matches.Comment

Saw the fight. Shakeri was using collar ties almost the entire fight. The american was avoiding getting underhooked ALOT. Against a guy like this I would try pushing him by collar-tie triceping him. Shaking up the guys leg movements opening up for a shot. The guy had good positioning.Originally posted by diz View PostMohammad Reza SHAKERI winning the gold medal against Jesse MENDEZ (USA).
The guy was clearly avoiding losing by bigger margins tho.
