Ganjzadeh’s reaction to the American sabotage; The medals of an Iranian karate kai are equal to all the medals of the American Federation

According to the sports reporter of Fars news agency, the World Karate Games (World Games) started in America on July 17, but after the disruption of the American Embassy, ​​the visas of the Iranian karate national team were not issued to participate in these games.

Iranian karatekas recently went to the embassy of this country in Armenia to receive the event of a trip to the United States, and at the very beginning of the card, the request to issue a visa for the head coach and head of the karate federation was rejected.

Bahman Asgari, Zabihullah Pourshib, Sajjad Ganjzadeh, Sara Bahmanyar and Hamidah Abbas Ali, the five karatekas of our country who have won the quota to participate in these competitions, along with the head coach of the national karate team Seyed Shahram Heravi and Seyed Hasan Tabatabai, the head of the federation, were supposed to go to these competitions. The disruption of the American embassy and ultimately the failure to issue visas prevented the sending of our country’s national team to these competitions.

After not issuing visas to the karatekas of our country, there were a lot of comments from the American and foreign media, and finally Sajjad Ganjzadeh, the holder of the gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics and the most proud karateka of our country, reacted to these comments on his personal page.

The text of Ganjzadeh’s reaction is as follows:

“After years of competing at the first level of the world and traveling to nearly 50 countries, it is very bad that America hosts the World Games and does not give us visas so that we can try our luck to get a medal like other athletes who get a quota.
So far, we are saying that there is no problem, they don’t want to apply for a visa, but the media of their country are saying that because the Iranian karate practitioners are terrorists, we did not allow them to participate in these competitions by cooperating with the terrorist group.

Only the medals that one of Iran’s karate fighters get in different competitions are equal to all the medals of your federation from the past until now.
