nhs67 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I hope we see the #1 Iran squad. I believe the US squad fully depends on the lineup you gents roll out. David Taylor was on FRL last week and kind of skated around answering if he would or would not be at the World Cup as well. I think Zahid beats anyone else you guys throw out at 86 KG aside for Yazdani (or possibly Ghasempour?). I am also of the wish to see Ghasempour at 86 KG and Yazdani at 92 KG for this next year's Worlds. Cox will be at 97 KG and I suspect we will see Moore (who us back and forth with Karimi) or another 86 KG guy step up (Hidlay is my preferred choice).

First, let’s hope the team will be granted visas. The world has become so crazy, that at this point, II will take any team from Iran, Injust want them to get visas nhs67 and Mphillips 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their part is to apply for visas in some third-party country US Embassy (probably Qatar, UAE, Armenia, or Turkey) That is the easy part. That US embassy then needs to approve the visas. That is the iffy part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir.Sol Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Hamid Sourian just resigned from his position in the federation. Not a big surprise, he never really wanted to be there in the first place. He was only there to respect Dabir and Bana and now that Bana's gone he doesn't feel the need to stay. kkiane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can't participate if you're 17 so Masoumi should be tied with whoever else has won it at 18. I know Zare was 18 when he won it too.

Amir.Sol Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Big freestyle league match happening right now on IRIB varzesh. Takestan vs Gaemshahr. Sarlak, Emami and Zare will wrestle. Ghasempour unfortunately won't. Results so far: Takestan 3 - 0 Gaemshahr 57: Sarlak 4 - 0 Momeni 61: Dastan 9 - 1 Hazratgholi 125: Zare 10 - 0 Sahraei Goleij is wrestling now.

Amir.Sol Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Final scores: Takestan 9 - 1 Gaemshahr 57: Alireza Sarlak 4 - 0 Reza Momeni 61: Majid Dastan 9 - 1 Dariush Hazratgholi 65: Morteza Ghiasi 2 - 1 Abolfazl Hajipour 70: Aliakbar Fazli 10 - 0 Amirreza Akbarzade 74: Younes Emami 5 - 0 Fariborz Babaei 79: Mostafa Ghiasi 11 - 1 Mohammad Galehsari 86: Alireza Karimi 10 - 0 Aref Ranjbar 92: Ahmad Bazri 5 - 2 Ezatollah Akbari 97: Danyal Shariatinia 0 - 9 Mojtaba Goleij 125: Amir Zare 10 - 0 Amirreza Sahraei No real upsets, Ranjbar was closer to Karimi than the score suggested and Fazli is a pretty exciting wrestler. Wonder how he'd fair at U23s. Gaemshahr didn't use Ghasempour, Lil Yaz or Nokhodi but they still would have lost. Takestan have managed to sign the second best guy in every weight, they should be the favourites to win this whole thing.

That was the word on the grapevine. I really hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the word on the grapevine. I really hope so. I'm not sure tbh. I know that he's only supposed to wrestle 3 matches, so they'll probably save him till after the group stage. The team that signed Hassan also signed Sajjad Gholami as what I would presume their best 86 guy if Hassan wrestles 92. Gholami's suspension may change some things for them now. They also have Javad Ebrahimi but I doubt he can make 86. Edited October 26, 2022 by Amir.Sol kkiane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwwdoc Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Tedeev is no longer Russian Head coach. Very Interesting.

kkiane Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I just realised that the guy that decimated Yousofi in the U23 world champs is the same guy that beat Hedayati at the U20 world champs, except his match with Hedayati was closer.

Amir.Sol Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Hey guys a new forum called Intermat just opened up and I believe this is the spiritual successor to themat.com forums. Indiana has been very kind to us but I wonder if it's a good idea to move this thread to Intermat given that it seems most the other folks from the old forum are planning to move to this new one. Here's the links to it (only the IP address works right now apparently the regular link will work tomorrow): http://190.92.141.112/ http://www.intermatforums.com/ Obviously I don't really mind where this thread continues but this is just a suggestion.

Regardless of what we decide, we will always remain grateful for the IndianaMat people for letting us post here Here is the key advantage of going to the other board There are a lot more posters there Most new people will probably find that forum before they find this one Here is the key advantage of this board @LJBwho is a great contributor is here, and not on the other board We have managed to already get most of the key contributors here To me, the final determining facor is whether @LJBwill be allowed on the new site, if not, I vote we stay here Mphillips and kkiane 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
