Iranian Wrestling

[PSGman#19]

Iran make so much fuss, spend time, money, coverage about wrestling aka our national sport, official provider of medals and our athletes lose first/second round?

there is a reason that an Olympic medal is so ba arzesh. No one gives a damn about world championship medals... it's the Olympics that count. Up to now, Iran has bagged 24 total gold medals in its Olympic history. We do not have a multiple gold medal winner from koshty. Our multiple gold winners are Hadi Saei and Rezazdeh. That's how hard it is to win medals in Olympic.

Every country perform at the same level at worlds and olympics except iran. How do we explain this

The iranian expert on tv was trying in a Nice fashion to explain how weak we are mentally. Its not just wrestling our athletes in all sports have tremendpus issues coping with pressure

Its a national crisis in Sports that is not being adressed psychological issues are taboo in Iran and some mofo need to take off the lid and talk about it

We are totally incapable of giving opponents hell when we perform and are not enjoying ourselves. Nor are we rational when we get worked up. Do I need to remind of how TM performed against Qatar.

US and other wrestling Olympic team arrived on day 1. Enjoy festivities, etc

maybe locking up our wrestlers in a training camp dungeon for weeks ahead of competition time isn’t the best move for someone’s psyche

This is the real issue in our football so I expect it goes through all sports.

I have never seen us mentally and physically siege another team in football except for when we play a team like Cambodia.

Some signs of it in the Wales game and thats why it was such an enjoyable game besides the win.

Everytime a team like US or Japan or Mexico plays in their respective region they seige the opponent until they mentally crumble

How do Repechage rounds work?

If Lopez makes it to the finals, all the wrestlers who lost to him go into the consolation bracket. So Mirzazadeh will first wrestle the Korean then it would be our very own Sabah Shariati.

The psychological issues do it just stop at sports. The negative attitude toward life in general is a classic Iranian trait that is only overcome by select individuals, who then excel in whatever field they are in. This is probably why we can’t do well in any team sports.

This! And im super happy that im not alone with this sentiment and awareness! I Wonder if besides mental health taboo another hindrance may be that iranians never are allowed to go their own way and make life choices.

we need to broaden not just in Sports as psgman eloquently have put it many Times. We need this across all fields. Fortunately iranians have started excelling in physio and sport science.

but we need better fitness coaches, nutritionists, performance coaches, sport psychologists etc. All athletes in us have access to this infrastructure.

our parental generation have commited a serious mistake not allowing kids to be other things than doctors and engineers. With all that talent going to two fields

Fumita wins in clutch manner with a Tondar. down from 1-3 to 5-3 defeating reigning champion. This is how sports works. Minimal mistakes and being mentally tough. Mohsennejad qualified for repechage.

[Mahsaa]

Poor mirzazadeh, thats the worst what could happen to face lopez in round 2 , hopefully lopez wins and mirzazadeh gets back and can get bronze

[Ostad_Goosfand]

Lopez almost got flipped by shariati. Mirzazadeh made clear mistake by choosing to continue stand up

[AGC]

Mirzazadeh to repechage ... lopez won 4-1

[Ostad_Goosfand]

Yasmani acosta, who didn’t even get top 15 last two world champs is in the finals l
