According to the Mehr correspondent, the Iranian wrestling arena has witnessed unfortunate incidents and events in the process of holding various competitions in recent months, and the continuation of these events can challenge this wrestling discipline.
Of course, these events can have different reasons, but according to many shipowners and veterans and experts, refereeing mistakes play a role in creating most of these margins.
In this regard, Alireza Rezaei, the Olympic runner-up and former coach of the national team, has explained the reasons for the clashes in the wrestling competitions and made various statements in the media, which are mostly related to criticism of refereeing: “I said some time ago Is. I have said many times that if this issue is not addressed, we will have more problems in the most important competitions, which are the national championship and the selection of the national team. “Unfortunately, this is what happened and you saw what margins the refereeing mistakes caused in Gorgan competitions.”
He continued by pointing out that 90% of the clashes in national competitions were due to refereeing: “I am really sorry that despite all the efforts that Alireza Dabir is making in the wrestling federation, these margins are created. “I know the secretary well, these things contradict his spirit, and neither he nor the honest Pejman want anyone’s rights to be lost in the national team.”
Hadi Habibi, another well-known wrestling figure who has worked for many years as the head of the national team, the head of the institute and the head of the league committee in the field of wrestling, believes that wrestling conflicts can have different reasons, each of which creates a margin on the field and even It happens on the platforms. Explaining the reasons for the recent incidents, he said: “Although it is said that refereeing mistakes are part of the sport, in disciplines such as wrestling, when there are conditions for review, refereeing weaknesses can no longer be justified.
Habibi stated that poor refereeing in all sports always causes tension and conflict, adding: “Certainly, the refereeing problems that have arisen in various wrestling competitions can not be ignored, but in any case, poor refereeing can cause conflicts in some disciplines. Like a ship, it is far from the mind due to its history of heroism and chivalry. “I believe that with the help of expert solutions and better management, margins can be prevented.”
According to the Mehr correspondent, in the latest marginal events in the field of wrestling competitions, we can mention the final match of the national championship freestyle wrestling in the weights of 92 and 125 kg in Gorgan. The incidents led to clashes between the supporters of the losing wrestlers, and eventually the police officers took action to control the situation. The clash followed the defeat of the seed of one of the 92 kg contenders, the wrestler’s fans and coach, in protest of the judges’s judgment, which led to a clash in the competition hall.
