Iran fields women in martial arts where they can come up with Islamic approved attire. The fitting wrestling singlets do not pass their test. if a new form of government comes in, this may change nhs67 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would educate themselves in the most popular style. When they do call greco it gets embarrassing. Hearing them complain about how Greco is scored and comparing it to Freestyle scoring sequences is downright disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the point that many of the rest of us non-Irani over on TheMat were also on board and excited. I believe one of your fellow countrymen is who brought us back down to earth and told us that U20 success hadn't really translated well for you guys (yet). It seems you now have considerable depth all the way down the age groups, even through U20 still. It is nice to see. Amir.Sol and kkiane 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
