The Genius Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Albania refusing to grant Iranian wrestlers visas is an utter disgrace. ***duck duck goose*** the UWW and ***duck duck goose*** Albania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irani Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 This is absolutely incompetence by UWW. UWW should have the authority to ban specific countries, and that by itself is questionable. Hosting countries should not have the authority to ban countries. UWW should never pick a country to host without first confirming that they will issue visas to all the participants.

FamileDoor Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 It was clear that they do not issue visas. Dorostkar and Dabir missed the opportunity to play the role of heroes in the media of the Islamic Republic as if they had defeated the enemy (MEKs).

FamileDoor Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) As long as the MEKs are in Tirana, this story will continue. The eyes of the UWW only see the wrestling mat, they are unaware of other issues that may affect wrestling matches.

UWW don't care about their host (Albania) refuses to issue visas to Iranian wrestlers on purely political grounds, even though they went to great lengths to ensure Russian athletes could compete. The UWW is corrupt and politicised beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 It was officially announced tonight on the UWW site. I don't understand how this happens? They put it in Albania to be sure Russian and Belarusian neutral athletes can participate, but then overlook the fact that Iran could be left out? What a tragedy. That's awful. Sorry, guys. I feel for you. Irani and The Genius 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hendrickson, who I mentioned recently lost 12-11 to Parris, pinned the Senior Worlds true 5th Kurbanov this morning after being up 17-9. I sure wish we could have seen him and Masoumi. He's an elite athlete, weighing the full 125kg with no fat. It would have been a unique test for Masoumi.

No winners out of this situation. But I feel for the u23 team. Sounds like would have been a good match up between Masoumi and this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The non Iranian athletes are also cheated because this ridiculous maneuver. Both Hendrickson and Massoumi would have benefited from such a match. maligned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course would have been nice to actually see the match up rather than hypothesise....maybe some other time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Hendrickson's matches against good people tend to be wild and high-scoring. He can be scored on, but he's so dangerous and puts almost everyone to their back.
