Holder of Iran’s first sambo medal: Despite the unfair judgment, I won bronze



According to IRNA, “Mohammad Saeedi Madani” said on Sunday about the World Sambo Championship hosted by Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan: “The World Sambo Championship was of a very high quality.” There are big powers in Asia in this field and different countries are investing in this field.

He added: 80 different countries of the world participated in the 2021 World Sambo Championships, and the presence of this number of participants is a proof of the high quality level of these fights.

The representative of Iran Sambo weight minus 88 kg said about his rivals in the World Championships in Tashkent: In the first round I had an opponent from Cyprus who I managed to defeat with a result of 8 to 0, then in the second round I went against an opponent from Lithuania and I ended this fight with a result of 4: 0 in my favor.

He stated: “My opponent in the quarter-final stage was a Romanian who had a world championship and several other valuable medals in his record of honors; In this match, I was one point behind at first, but in the last twenty seconds, using a fan, I won two to one. In the semi-finals, my opponent was an opponent from Russia who has won three world championships and won a silver medal in this period of competitions. In this game, unfortunately, I lost and could not reach the final.

Saeedi Madani also said about going to the chance table again and winning Iran’s first sambo medal in the world championships: “After the defeat against Russia, for another chance and winning the third title, my Azerbaijani opponent first fell behind with a result of 4: 0 and of course with injustice.” But I managed to defeat this opponent with a score of seven to five in the last minutes and by winning a bronze medal, I will bring Iran’s first sambo medal in the world championships.
