Bazeri: I don’t change my weight based on my opponent/I wrestle for my heart and people’s happiness, not for rewards

Ahmad Baziri saidWego With the sports reporter of Fars news agency, he said about the 92 kg selection competition to participate in the games of Islamic countries: This competition was supposed to be held on July 27 between me and Hajiluyan, but my opponent did not participate in the weightlifting. I don’t know the reason, but this absence made me represent my country in the games of Islamic countries.

The Asian silver medalist said about the selection cycle of the national freestyle wrestling team: “It was a good and perfect cycle and everyone tested themselves.” This cycle started with the national championship, and I started from there, I came to the Takhti Cup, and I was selected to participate in the last selection for the Konya Games.

The 92 kg freestyler of our country mentioned about his opponents in this weight: domestic opponents in this weight are very good and in fact one of the crowded ones.the most Weight is 92 kg. We have good wrestlers who participated in the cycle and finally Kamran Ghasempour managed to wear the national runner for the world championships. I will stay at this weight for now because 92-93 kilos is my normal weight, so we will see what happens in the future.

Regarding the fact that you used to wrestle at 86 kilos and this year you competed at 92 kilos, these are the weights of many athletes who are behind them and despite their good talent, they could not make it to the national team, do you plan to change your weight in the future, he said: My mindset is not to raise and lower my weight relative to my opponents. When I competed in 86 kg in 2020, many people said to change your weight and why did you stay at this weight, but my weight in the Asian Championship in Delhi was 86 kg.

He added: I do my best and I don’t change my weight based on the opponent. Whoever tries harder will definitely win. After the Delhi competition, my weight increased because the weightlifting competitions were held in the morning and I had to reduce my weight, I reached 92 kilos. I will wrestle as long as my weight is right and I don’t worry about it.

In response to the question why he could not win the title in the Takhti Cup, the national freestyle wrestler of our country said: I had trained a lot for this competition and my plans were going according to what I had predicted. I made my way to the finals, but I made a mistake for a moment that my opponent used this mistake. After that I continued my training and worked on my weaknesses. A few days ago, the federation announced in the news that a selection contest is going to be held, in which I participated.

Regarding his opponents in the games of Islamic countries, he said: 4 years ago, when the competition was held in Baku, it was at a good level, and world and Olympic champions were also present. If it is like before, good opponents from Turkey, Azerbaijan, etc. will participate. I don’t have exact information about who will compete in my weight class, but we will continue to train to be ready and win competitions.

Baziri saying that his goal is to win people’s hearts, not reward in consideration Taken for the medal winners, he reminded: the reward is not important to me at all and I wrestle for my heart and the happiness of the people so that I can bring a smile to their faces with a medal in this situation. I don’t count on rewards and all I try is to get the best result.
