Alireza Karimi and Mohsen Mostafavi were selected as the national champions.
However, this selection match was not held due to Alireza Karimi’s decision and his absence in this match, so that Mostafavi will travel to the Asian Championship and Karimi will remain in the selection cycle to reach the runner-up of the national team sent to the world competitions.
In this regard, Mohammad Ibrahim Emami, the spokesman of the Wrestling Federation, told the Mehr reporter: The rules of the selection cycle of the national teams have been compiled carefully and seriously and with attention to all aspects of the matter, and have been posted transparently on the federation’s website. Certainly, the issue of central justice has been included in the selection cycle of the national team so that the top and worthy individuals can achieve their legal rights.
“The composition of the freestyle wrestling team for the Asian Games in Mongolia has been determined,” he said. Only in the 86 kg weight category, due to injuries and the presentation of documents by Alireza Karimi, an in-camp bout was to be held with Mohsen Mostafavi, who eventually resigned, and Mostafavi became the representative of Iran’s freestyle wrestling in this weight class.
The spokesman of the Wrestling Federation reminded: The main goal of the federation is to achieve the best results in the Asian Games, the World Championships in Serbia and the games of the Islamic countries.
According to the Mehr correspondent, Iranian wrestling should be ready for important events in the new year, including the Asian Championship in Mongolia (late April 1401), the World Championships in Serbia (September 19-27, 1401) and the Asian Games in China (September 30 to October 2, 1401). ) Be.
