In an interview with Mehr reporter, Mustafa Miremadian said about the country’s championships: The competitions were held very well and good young wrestlers were identified. If we are going to have a plan for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, we should start from here.
He added: When the national championships are over and the national team list is announced, every expert will know who will be sent to the Olympics on paper. Those who were invited to the national team camp at this point had more chances than other wrestlers.
He said: But the technical staff tries to send the best to the competitions, so the names of the wrestlers who have been competing for years and won colorful medals cannot be ignored for the Olympics. Because the Olympics is an experienced field.
The freestyle wrestling expert said: I think we should have a more technical look at young wrestlers in the selection competitions. I wish there was an organization and the wrestlers who shined in the national championships would gather together in the form of Team Omid so that these people can be preserved for the next Olympics because we don’t have time for the Paris Olympics anymore and there is no opportunity to move.
Mir Emadian noted: The outcome of the national championship and the presence of these young wrestlers gave us hope for the future of this discipline. The technical staff could definitely identify these people well. These matches showed that the wrestling warehouse is full of many talents and in the future we can benefit from these young wrestlers and maintain the growing trend of wrestling.
Regarding the change in the technical staff, he said: In my opinion, the technical staff has not changed much; Still, Amini and Eslami are present as wrestling coaches in the technical staff, and only Mehdi Taqavi is going to be added. The staff of the national team in the Olympics includes a head coach and three coaches, Kaveh has been with the team before as a head coach. So the frame hasn’t changed much. I hope that these transfers will improve Iran’s ship.
Mir Emadian emphasized: If we cannot make good use of these changes, perhaps there would be no need for these transfers at all. Kaveh used to be the technical director of the national team and is an experienced person who has sufficient knowledge of wrestlers and his presence can help the team a lot.
Regarding the presence of two coaches in the national freestyle wrestling team, he said: Metri and Afzali were the coaches in the youth valley, and Kaveh invited these two to the camp so that they could help the team. There is a lot of talk about the staff members, I think it is better to measure the quality of the people and to determine which province they are from. I see now that some people are raising objections regarding the selection of coaches, and this may cause some transfers in the future. The coaches of the wrestlers who come to the camp, as well as the provinces that carry the burden of wrestling, should be given a more special look, and considering this issue, I think these protests are somewhat justified, and I hope the technical staff and the federation will make the right decision.
