Ops! Papi lost to one of the Kumars. Jimbo was it you or Iranews who said Iran has never lost and would never lose to India?

In this picture, Papi looks as if he still can't believe the "never" happened.

any news on the aliev?

ha ha, it's my belief but I can't remember if i told you this because I never say never !

Bronze is enough for Papi (can you believe he lost a period to Vietnam !!!??) but Hajipour disappointed me ! he has beat Mankiev , so I expected more from him.

for tomorrow, I think A.Mohammadi, B.Babajanzadeh and mostly Akhbari have a shot for the gold medal.

looks like the south korean wrestling is in a bad situation. they didn't win a single gold in Guangzhou (even though they had the full support of the referees) and here they send some of their best wrestlers and still no gold and even no silver !

Why should I not believe?! Vietnamese guys are great wrestlers. On the previous page, I posted photos of an Iranian/Turkmen folk style. Now watch the Vietnamese folk style. It's more exciting than the Iranian one.

What happened in the 55-kg Korean greco match North vs. South? Did they produce a fight? The guy from the North got disqualified.

gbdaz, nothing interesting at Aliev today. Tomorrow - the 96 kg competition.

4 Golds and 1 Silver for Iran in the last day, very good result for such a young team, kudos to Banna.

but I really want to see 96kg final, from what I heard Uzbeks stole this gold from Iran ! according to Mohammad Banna the uzbeks tried to bribe the wrestler before the match and when they failed, they bought the referees instead !

tehran times : Bana resigns as Iran Greco-Roman wrestling coach

It says that Banna is leaving his job as an head coach for Iran, any details for his decision?

Corruption, federation problems, maybe something to do with religion. Its a joke iranian federation is a joke, the greco team has been fantastic so lets get rid of the coach, why don't we sack the wrestlers? whats next are they going to ban wrestling altogether see if that helps.

very shocking news, he didn't explain any details !
he just said there are "many problems" and he can't work because of them !

but I think and I hope he will continue, He is the best Greco coach of the world without any doubt.

for some stupid political reasons ( you can read the story here Iranian parliament presses Ahmadinejad on establishing sports ministry ) Iranian Wrestling Federation is ran out of money ! I think all the problems are made by that !

cant see link???
