The Wrestling Team

It is pretty sad that we cannot even win in the Sport that is our Nation's pride, history and culture and have won many times before.

It is the incompetence of the Sports Officials in Iran these days not the Athletes.

All of our Sporst are in a sad shape and have been for the last 30 years, thanks to the idiots in charge there.

BTW, does anyone have the roster of the Wrestlers and the coaches for this Olympics?. I have searched but cannot find them anywhere.

thanks.

I remember in the 1970's when we were the world champion:

48 kg - Ebrahim Javadi
52 kg - Mohammad Ghorbani
57 kg - Gholami (?)
63 kg - Shamseddin Seid-Abbasi (Fetile' Pich)
68 kg - Abdollah Movahed
74 kg - Mansoor Barzegar

I hope that more of our wrestlers 'be' gheirateshoon bar bekhore' and remeber the great tradition that people like Takhti left for us

We need more medals :) - Roohe' Takhti Shad Bad
