I want our pahlevan to CRUSH this guy tomorrow morning. I want him to make this guy humble. It certainly is a major culture clash. But as you mentioned about DT, there is also another side, another wrestler loved by Iranians and a great one in Jordan Burroughs. So although DT may represent a segment of US population, JB shows that there are Americans who do show sportsmanship after defeats as well as victories.
      Burroughs was saying such nice things in the commentary too, was complimenting iranian culture and wrestling and saying how much he loves it. America is too diverse a country for people to assume the mentality is the same across the board. Definitely in american sports there are a lot of jerks but theres always the other side of the coin.

        J’Den Cox is also another gentleman. The guy is absolutely a monster on the mats too.

            didnt make olympics due to bizarre circumstance. Coach gave him wrong weigh in time for US team trials...He was 10 mins late to the actual weigh ins and they cut him just like that

              Zare doing very well, up 5-0 at half time. He's going up against a beast of a man from UKR.

                Zare wins.

                Mostafa down 0-2 against USA at half. Just got 2 points against by being pushed out. otherwise, pretty equal matchup. Needs to step it up in next half

                  Damn. Mostafa almost had a flip, but it got turned around to the American who flipped him. He lost 0-4

                    Dake wrecked our boy

                      Hosseinkhani created absolutely zero offense. He was down points and he didnt attempt a single take down and virtually created no chances for himself. Dake is a 2x world champion and Hosseinkhani was definitely the underdog but his performance left a lot to be desired.

                        Honestly Hosseinkhani had our weakest performance in GR/Freestyle of entire olympics there with Geraei's BS vs Japanese.

                        I know dake is a class above him but honestly he was gassed fast and when he had energy expended it in inefficient ways.

                        Zarre looks likely to medal

                          When's Zare's next match?

                          Comment


                            Mostafa HosseinKhani in 74 kg did not do well and lost to an average American who ran around.
                            Mostafa did not show anything.

                            On the other hand, in 125 kg, Amir Zare won against a UKR wrestler.

                              His opponent was not an average american but a 2 time world champion. Irrespective of that Hosseinkhani's performance was awful and he created virtually no chances for himself.

                                Not sure if hosseinkhani was our best guy here. Is he here cause he won Asian cup? He wasn’t at the last two worlds that Kyle dake won
