According to the Mehr news agency and quoting the wrestling federation, during the past few days, the head coaches of the national freestyle and freestyle wrestling teams have announced the selection cycle plan for our country’s representatives to participate in the Asian Championship, World Championship and 2020 Asian Games. In this regard, some shipwrecked people criticized this plan, to which the Wrestling Federation responded by publishing the following text on its official website:
“Apart from the ship, in order to achieve great goals in everything, it is necessary to plan and execute it carefully, and the ship is no exception to this rule. Undoubtedly, after the outbreak of coronavirus has subsided, wrestling needs a well-planned and purposeful planning to participate in the upcoming competitions, and in line with that, the wrestling federation, from the coaches of the national freestyle wrestling teams, technical program until the end of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. Has asked China.
Based on this, each of the national team coaches based on the experiences and specialized needs of freestyle and western wrestling and the current situation of Iranian wrestling has developed its selected cycle plan and after the approval of the Wrestling Federation, it has been officially announced for implementation.
One of the criticisms leveled at the national team selection cycle plan is that some claimants leave the national team runner-up and the technical staff open-handed at the end of the national team selection cycle.
It is necessary to keep in mind that the coaches of the national wrestling teams and consequently the wrestling federation are more concerned than anyone else with the success of their wrestlers and teams in the upcoming competitions, and that is why by implementing the national team selection cycle to It seeks to determine the most suitable person to wear the national team runner.
Those who are interested in wrestling in their country are well aware that the national championships had been lost for years and the prominent wrestlers did not have a colorful presence in these competitions, but with the help of the Wrestling Federation and the technical staff of national wrestling teams, the most important stage of the selection cycle. The national freestyle and western wrestling teams are the national championships, and all those who claim to be wearing the national team runner-up must start their work from these competitions.
Of course, this right should also be granted to wrestlers who have won medals in heavy world and Olympic competitions or in gold competitions of world hopes, which had a very high level, by proving themselves to the technical staff and physical recovery. Be exempt from some competitions such as the national championship or the throne cup.
But it should be kept in mind that if wrestling claims to be the national team runner-up, it can prove itself to the technical staff by winning national competitions, qualifying for the throne, Asian championships and the throne, and the opponent of our country’s medalists in the final stage. Be the national team selection.
On the other hand, given that our national wrestling teams have to participate in two very important world competitions and the Asian Games in a very short period of time, the technical staff of national teams must have the option that in addition to the presence of wrestlers in domestic competitions, they To be sent to international competitions and to test against foreign opponents so that the best person, both in domestic competitions and in foreign tournaments, can find a way to these two important competitions.
Undoubtedly, the wrestlers have to prove themselves to the technical staff on the wrestling mats and camps of the national teams, and the wrestler who can get out of the various stages of the national team selection cycle in this opportunity deserves to wear the national team runner.
Of course, there are differences between the selection cycle of the national freestyle and western wrestling teams, which also originated due to the different training and competition conditions of these two disciplines and the thoughts of the coaches of these teams. Undoubtedly, the summary cycle of Mohammad Bana and the cycle, except for Pejman Dorostkar, have very much in common and is close to each other, and that is participating in the national championships, the selection of the Throne Cup, the international competitions of the Throne Cup and the Asian Championship. This cycle provides solutions to use the potential of wrestlers who prove their worth to the technical staff in any way.
Honestly, Mohammad Bana, who was selected as the best wrestling coach in the world by the World Wrestling Union many years ago, knows with his wealth of experience better than anyone that the way to select wrestlers is through close competition between them, and this can be done from a distance. Eleventh world runner-up and three gold medals at the World Championships in Norway, as well as a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
Certainly, this experienced coach, who has been monitoring all the wrestlers in the country for more than 17 years, from teenagers to adults, knows better than anyone what the wrestlers’ conditions are like, and the success of wrestlers such as Mohammad Reza Garai, Meysam Delkhani, Mohammad Hadi confirms that. Sarvai, Ali Akbar Yousefi and Amin Mirzazadeh and the unparalleled progress of Iranian wrestling in the past two years.
The fact that early judgments are made at the beginning of the national team selection cycle does not lead to any gain other than discouraging wrestlers from participating in this cycle and ultimately the failure of the wrestling. “Wrestling should take steps to support these plans so that we can see the positive and sweet result of its championship taste in the upcoming competitions, including the 2024 Olympics.”
