According to Mehr reporter, Alireza Debir, the head of the wrestling federation, said at the ceremony of honoring the wrestling medalists in the presence of the commander-in-chief of the army and veterans: I am very happy to see wrestling veterans in this meeting. I got the best medal of my life next to Barzegar. In 1402, we won the championship in freestyle and fringe wrestling in the youth category, and we won the world championship in the youth category in the two disciplines of freestyle and fringe wrestling.
He said: The adult national teams also won the championship of Asia in the Asian Games. Noonhalan also became the champion of Asia. In the adult section, we became world runners-up in both freestyle and freestyle. But they treated us as if we were defeated. Not only in the wrestling federation but in the history of any federation so far, we did not have so much honor in 1402. We did not have such an honor in the 70-year history of Iranian wrestling. But the media acted as if we lost. I laughed at this. The 11th and 9th teams were delivered to us and we brought them here.
The head of the wrestling federation noted: Hassan Yazdani has won 9 world medals, which is not a joke. He became the runner-up in the world and this is not a joke. But they treated us in the same way as to why freestyle wrestling has achieved these results. I believe Azad and Ferangi wrestling should have become world champions and I even told the head coaches of both teams about this. Wrestling also won 5 medals in the Asian Games, and the National Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Sports were satisfied with our performance, but I was unhappy. I think we should have won 8 gold medals. I am ambitious and I put pressure on the coaches.
The secretary said: We are not satisfied with the budget of the Ministry of Sports, anyway, they also have a limited budget and have their own difficulties. Hashemi has done his best since the day he came to the ministry, but we should be aware of the lives of wrestlers. We celebrate their efforts as much as we can.
