In an interview with Mehr reporter, Akbar Fallah said about the participation of the national freestyle wrestling team in the World Championships in Belgrade: A team with a combination of young and experienced wrestlers was sent to this competition and I think they all have a chance to win a medal. But wrestling matches are unpredictable, sometimes a wrestler that we didn’t even think about wins against the competition. Therefore, if it is a wrestler’s day, they can easily win against their opponents.
He said: We have a chance to win medals in some weights such as 85 and 125 kg. Yazdani has won medals in this weight many times in world and Olympic competitions. In the weight of 79 kg, the legendary Jordan Burrows is not present and the experienced pea has a chance to win the championship. In the weight of 74 kg, Younes Emami has two world bronze medals in his career and this year he has the ability to change the color of his medal.
The freestyle wrestling expert continued: last year, Amouzad won the world championship in the weight of 65 kg, and his age is such that he has become more experienced this year, of course, his opponents have become much stronger than last year, but despite these opponents, he can repeat the championship of the previous period. slow
Fallah said: In the weight of 57 kg, a young wrestler who has no knowledge of his opponents will enter the field, but this is not a criterion. In the past, there were young wrestlers who succeeded in their first attempt. In general, I think the free wrestling team smells like a world championship, the conditions are ready for all of them and we hope that this will happen.
The freestyle wrestling expert said: “Wrestlers definitely have a hard time in the world championships. During this competition, the Olympic quota is distributed and Russian wrestlers are also present.” But Iranian wrestlers have always shown that they are men of hard times.
Fallah said about Yazdani’s interesting rivalry with David Taylor: From the beginning when these two wrestlers competed, they got the same wrestling model and the techniques are similar. So whoever was more prepared wrestled better. During this period, we did not see anything special from Yazdani whether his wrestling method has changed or not. He always goes to the mat with a technique and even against a regular wrestler he has a method in case he needs to change his tactics.
