Why do you guys keep asking "where was Sourian?". 3x defending world champions usually don't wrestle at World Cups.

Tahmasebi didnt wrestle after wining bronze medal in Baku. He is injuried. Before world championship they faced in Azovmash cup and Tahmasebi won the match 5-1.After that Nematpour won Nikolay Petrov gold medal and Tahmasebi lost to Japan but Coaches selected Tahmasebi for Baku. one month ago Nematpour won Yadegare Emam cup title and Tahmasebi was absent. Now coaches are not in good relation with Tahmasebi because they believe Tahmasebi could wrestle in Yadegare Emam cup but he didnt. I think Nematpour is selected for Asian Championship.

second Q: Abedinzade was third in Yadegare Emam cup at 84kg. He was beaten in Szombathely tournament today by KAZ wrestler. I think he has dificult way at 84kg.

third Q: Nourzadeh is newcomer at 60kg and defeated Ashkani in Yadegare Emam cup final. I think he can wrestle even for Junior team. He was selected for world cup but injuried before that. Nourzadeh photo(red)

On your site, I saw this picture of Nematpour vs. Hasaia at the World cup:

Very acrobatic! But no effect.

Thank you Iranews. If Abedinzadeh can get back down I think it better for him. It was very good at 74kg but as you said struggles at 84kg.
