According to the reporter of Mehr, Kiyomarth Hashemi said at the ceremony of recognition of the medal winners of the world championship competitions by the wrestling federation: Today, the sport of our country needs empathy and peace. On the ship, it is in the shadow of empathy that we can implement our own plans. This peace can be created by the federation itself, the veterans, the wrestling community and the sports community. As an official, I don’t have the right to say something that will cause separation of a part of sports. I hope this issue will be on the agenda of all sports officials.
It does not go well with management differences
He added: I told sports officials many times, based on my experience, management does not go well with differences. Of course, it does not mean that the truth is not spoken. We have 9 months until the Olympics and our wrestling and sports need a rest that can help us win medals. It is very difficult to win a medal in the Olympics and it is not like the World and Asian Games.
Few people come to the ship anymore
The Minister of Sports noted: One of the important problems of wrestling in the world is that now, due to the attractiveness of a series of sports, fewer people come to wrestling, and this makes it difficult for the world’s wrestling officials. Once upon a time, wrestling was crowded at the city level, but now it is less because of the attractiveness of new disciplines. Therefore, one of our duties in the Ministry of Sports is to develop this field more so that more heroes can be trained. We respect the province of Mazandaran, which has served a lot in the ship, but the truth is that development is when it progresses in 10 provinces.
The income of the coaches should not come from the wrestlers
Hashemi continued: Now, in education, wrestling is not booming like it was before. We have 130 dedicated wrestling halls in education, which is a large capacity. Many of our provinces had many heroes, but now our heroes are limited to a few cities. 70 dedicated wrestling halls are under construction and I said they should be prepared quickly. It is not good at all that the source of income of wrestling coaches is from the tuition fees of wrestlers. It is our duty to solve this problem. When we say that wrestling in a province has a special capacity, a special figure should be given to the coaches, which is our duty and the federation also helps.
The right of the ship has been neglected
He continued: since the secretary came to the wrestling federation, this field has been on the rise in the country. We will definitely hold a joint meeting with the secretary and education to help develop the ship. There are 500 wrestling teams in the country, but except for the heads of the provincial teams, the others cannot see the Minister of Sports, the head of the federation. We must see them and pay attention. The right of wrestling has been neglected and this can be overcome with the help of the entire family. The media itself should also help. If something controversial is said, don’t cover it. Especially in the ship which is very important for us. I was in Hangzhou for 5 days, 3 days of which I went only for the ship. I went to the wrestlers from the stairs of the plane. Medals are important for us, but I told you to work hard and not worry about winning medals so that there is no pressure on them. I have a point of view in wrestling with the aim of helping wrestling, but the federation makes the final decision.
Everyone expects a gold medal from wrestling and this brings pressure
The Minister of Sports stated that he is ready to give any help to wrestling for the development of this field and said: You should not worry about support in the discussion of credits and focus only on your work and only dream of an Olympic medal. Do not think that the upcoming Olympics are world championships. It is completely different. Silver and bronze are important, but the flag goes up for gold. We have a duty to motivate and we will definitely get help. When I say the gold medal, all minds go to wrestling and maybe this will put pressure on wrestling.
Addressing the secretary, he said: Ask the president of the World Federation to come to Iran or we will go there to have a meeting.
The previous rewards for winning a medal at the Olympics were not good
The Minister of Sports said to the wrestlers: Now is the time for medals bring It is in the Olympics because maybe the age will increase for the next Olympics and it will no longer be possible to win a medal. The previous rewards for winning medals in the Olympics were not good and we are trying to consider a special reward for the medal winners. In addition to that, there is good support from the provinces and I have the duty to follow it up.
Follow up on the discussion of the recruitment of wrestlers
Alireza Debir also said after the sports minister’s speech: We announced that we will give nearly 900 million tomans to whoever wins the world gold. For silver, we considered 200 million cash and 15 million monthly for one year, and for bronze 100 million and 10 million monthly for one year. The ship must reach a place where it will generate income. I am not a number, I hope there will be bigger than us. We ourselves have to reach a place to support our heroes and get permission to reward. We follow the discussion of hiring all the children.
In response to this issue, Hashemi said: There is no problem in this regard and we are following it.
