According to the Mehr reporter, the World Wrestling Championships were hosted by Serbia a while ago, and our freestyle wrestling team from under 23 countries won a gold, 2 silver and 5 bronze medals and became the runner-up.
The only gold medal of the Iranian team in this competition was won by Amir Ali Azarpira in the weight of 97 kg, which showed that he will be one of the new contenders in this weight category in the adult category and can still gain honor for Iranian wrestling in this weight. At the World Hopes Championships, he first defeated Vasil Polyuchenka of Belarus 5-0 and then Zoriko Ortashvili of Georgia 5-3. He then managed to beat Jonathan Ilo of the United States 9-0 to reach the final, where he defeated Radu Lifter of Moldova 7-3 to win the gold medal.
Amir Ali Azarpira won the gold medal of the hopes of the world and was able to join the 97 kg adult contenders. A weight in which contenders such as Alireza Karimi, Ali Shabani, Mohammad Hossein Mohammadian and Mojtaba Golij are present, and it is difficult to reach the national team runner-up in this weight.
In this regard, Amir Ali Azarpira, who now finds himself next to the famous medalists in the 97 kg weight category, said: “With the gold medal I won in Serbia, I became one of the contenders for the senior national team and my goal is to win the national team runner-up.” Of course, I weigh less than the contenders and I am lighter than my opponents, but I still tried to perform well in the competitions of world hopes.
He said about his wrestling in the World Cup in Serbia: “These competitions had a good level that I was able to win the gold medal by winning 5 fights.” I defeated good opponents, but in the final match with a normal ship, I was able to defeat my opponent from Moldova.
In the end, Azarpira pointed to the title of runner-up of the Iranian team and said: “All the children of the team were sympathetic so that we could win the championship of this tournament, but sometimes things happen that take us away from the main goal.” Surely our team deserved the championship and we could have been on the first platform of world hopes with a little more luck and effort.
