Wrestling diplomacy seems to at least be something both nations an use to have some common ground for other political matters, as well as, further the movement to get wrestling back in the Olympics.

Very good report...the Iranian wrestling fans were electric..I have rarely seen anything like the excitement in that stadium ..could it be wrestling that helps normalize relations between Iran and the US?  In 1950 China and the US were bitter enemies, at war in Korea, and it was ping pong that helped normalize relations in the 1970s.  Perhaps 30 years from now wrestling could be a major factor in reapproachment.
