Yazdani won   At the 2001 Takhti Cup, at 63 kg, Zadick beat Bazri twice. In the prelims he beat him 6:5. Later he lost a match. Both wrestled back and faced each other again in the bronze-medal match. Zadick won 5:4. |

 Like Dagestan, Mazandaran lies at the Caspian Sea: Dagestan is at the sea's western coast; Mazandaran at its southern coast.  Mazandaran is not just a province in the administrative division of Iran, but also a great wrestling province. In the last two years, more than the half of the world team members were from Mazandaran. Five wrestlers in the 2005 world team: 55 Dadashi, 60 Mohammadi, 66 Vahedi, 74 Hajizadeh, 96 Ganji. Four wrestlers in the 2006 world team: 55 Dadashi, 60 Mohammadi, 74 Bazri, 84 Yazdani. Here they come from (I highlighted the capital and the towns)  The lightweights Dadashi and Mohammadi come from the capital Sari. Bazri is from Behshahr. Yazdani comes from Joybar. A square in Joybar  Enjoy the Mazandarani folk style Loucho  near Amol, Central Mazandaran, July 2005 www.chnphotoagency.ir/gallery.php?&gallery_uid=&lang=en&gallery_uid=66 in the mountains near Babol, Central Mazandaran, July 2006 http://www.farsnews.net/imgrep.php?nn=8504300032 !

On the first page, I updated the map of Tsumada the wrestling district in Daghestan. In pink, I marked a fourth village Hushtada. This is the village of the 1999 world and 2000 Olympic champ Said Murtazaliev (97 kg):  Said working on Bairamukov in the 2000 Olympic final  Said stretching Tosoev at the 2000 games Well he is born in Mahachkala, not in the village, but his clan is native of that village and many of Said's kinsmen are still living there. Pictures of the village - http://www.tsumada.ru/?f=foto&lg=ru&pr=31 Video This tape is a part of a 50-minutes German documentary film (1996) about life and customs in Hushtada. The first 2 minutes show traditional sporting games at a wedding belt-wrestling and stone discus throwing. Last edited by akzent; 11-02-2007 at 01:20 PM. |
