According to Mehr News Agency, Erfan Elahi, the holder of the World Youth Gold Medal, in a conversation with the public relations of the Wrestling Federation, stated the following: I think getting involved with adults helped me a lot in my progress in wrestling.
He continued: “Immediately after participating in the junior category, I showed a rise of 10 kg in the weight of 70 kg, because I felt that wrestling in the weight of 60 kg is no longer compatible with my physical condition and I have to put myself in the weight of 70 kg.”
Elahi added: “Fortunately, I was able to play in the Premier League last year and add to my experience, and after that, I was dressed in the national youth freestyle wrestling team due to the selection competitions.” Of course, attending the Yashardoglu International Tournament also helped me a lot.
Azadkar, a 70 kg weightlifter of the Iranian national wrestling team, said about his performance in the World Youth Championships in Russia: “Other wrestlers in Russia wrestled 4 times, but the situation was a little more difficult for me and I wrestled 5 times.” But thank God, with the guidance of the coaches and trust in God, I was able to win the gold medal.
Regarding the national team selection cycle, Elahi said: “I am grateful to the federation for implementing the selection cycle, because I was able to become the national team runner-up at the age of 19.
He clarified about the conditions of the qualifying competitions after his participation in the World Championships in Russia: “Because I had to fight in the qualifying competitions in the army after 2 weeks, it was difficult for me because I had won 5 tough wrestling in Russia and I have to wrestle here as well.” I was holding a sensation with a purpose.
Elahi continued: “But fortunately, the youthful force and the training I had held before helped me and I was able to have the necessary endurance in three matches and finally become the final winner of the field.”
A member of the national freestyle wrestling team in the weight of 70 kg stated about his goals: My goal is to win the World Championships in Norway, but my main goal is to participate in the 2024 Olympics in the weight of 74 kg.
In the end, he said that he can get ready to participate in world competitions in the remaining time: “I am a soldier of the technical staff and they definitely have suitable programs and exercises for me.” But the motivation and love that I have makes me do my best to succeed, and I assure you that God bless you.
