According to Mehr News Agency, Pejman Dorostkar said after the Yashardoglu Cup wrestling competitions: “The Yashardogu Cup had a high level of quality, considering that it was also a World Union ranking competition, and our freestyle wrestlers officially became the first international presence after the World Cup in Norway.” They had their own. Many champions and teams were eager to take part in this competition, which was considered the ranking of the World Union, and some world champions also lost in this competition.
He clarified about the composition of the team sent to these competitions: “We went to Turkey with a combination of experienced and young people, but of course the number of young people was more.” Some people did not live up to our expectations, and some young people did not expect the heavy atmosphere of heavy racing to affect them.
Drastkar continued: “In general, the children’s wrestlers had a good shine and we won 3 gold medals and a bronze medal in these competitions, which would have increased the number of medals without Firoozpour’s injury.”
The national team coach stated: “According to the competitions that were held and the number of gold medals that were distributed, Turkey hosted 3 gold medals, we also won 3 gold medals and the Russians, Americans, Kyrgyz and Indians also won one gold medal each.” I hope that winning 3 gold medals will be a good start for 2022 and the result and experience of these competitions will help our national team in the upcoming competitions.
Drastkar said about the national team programs: “We will return to the country tonight and we will have the Takhti Cup qualifying matches as one of the stages of the national team selection cycle from March 4 to 5. Immediately after the Takhti Cup qualifiers, our camp will start on Saturday, March 5, to participate in the Asian Championships in the national teams’ camp.
He concluded: “The first official international stadium that we are going to participate in and that is more important to us than the international competitions is the Asian Championships, which will be held in late April and early May in Mongolia.”
