For many years, Mazandaran was the cradle of Azad wrestling and Khuzestan was the birthplace of Ferangi wrestling. Of course, they still maintained their position in the capital of this field, but so many good competitors have come to the field in every way that there is a deep competition between the cities in these provinces. In Mazandaran and Azad wrestling, Amol has emerged as a competitor for Joibar, and in Khuzestan and Ferangi wrestling, Izeh has a close competition with Andimeshk.
In the 2026 World Championships, three wrestlers from Izeh were members of the French national team, and all three became finalists and won silver. In this competition, Amol also had three representatives in the Farangi team; That is, unlike the usual times when Mazandaran people go for freestyle wrestling, now this city, which has become famous as an Olympic city, has sharpened its teeth in Ferangi for the throne.
Interestingly, one gold (Hedayiti) and two bronze (Sarovi and Skou) were obtained from three Amol wrestlers in Farangi. The outstanding heavyweight gold that the world is looking for went to Mazandaran and Amol instead of Khuzestan and Gatund. Amol, who after Qasim Rezaei, with Hadi Saravi, won the Olympic gold in 97 kilos, and now Fardin Hedayati – with this quality – will definitely take the heavyweight gold to Amol in the next Olympics. Of course, provided that it is selected in Iran!
The problem that Fardin has inside the country despite the presence of Mirzazadeh, his compatriots in Azad do not have. Amel had four wrestlers in Azad and Ferangi team with 20 representatives, who bring two gold and two bronze with them from Kazakhstan, because tomorrow Amir Hossein Zare will leave the hall with the heavyweight gold. Zare is one of those wrestlers who appear every few decades; They don’t lose to anyone but themselves! What he did in the world of 2022, which, of course, he had the right to experience at the peak of his youth. But today, Amir Hossein Zare, who reached the final with authority and without losing a single point, now has a close competition with his famous compatriot in wrestling.
Captain Ferangi, who, according to the coaches of Iran, was captured by injustice and gave his gold to Sarkisian of Russia, still did not come empty-handed and won the seventh medal in the seventh year of participating in the World and Olympic Games. Exactly the same record that Amir Hossein Zare has and it is interesting that these two young men have not yet reached the age of 30 and they have a lot of room!
The similarity of the fate of this type of fellow citizen is strange. Both of them participated in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic qualifiers without a record of being in the national team and without any title or address, and by winning against the then national team, they started their first high-level experience at the highest possible level – the Olympics! That is, if others participate in different tournaments for 3 years to prepare for the Olympics, which is the last home of every athlete, these two 18- and 20-year-olds started from the beginning with the Olympics!
Both won medals in the first field! Two bronzes and two months later (the Tokyo Olympics were held a year late due to Corona) in Norway, they both became world champions for the first time. Both are still at the same weight and both have returned from 7 appearances with 7 medals. Hadi Sarvi, who reached the record of 7 Surian medals, and Zare is also looking for Yazdani’s record.
In the finals of the Paris Olympics, Zare gave the gold to Gono and Sarvi took it to be ahead in terms of medal quality, but Sarvi has two world golds (21 and 25) and Zare has 3 golds so far (21, 23 and 25) and tomorrow night he will surpass his compatriot with the fourth gold. Sarvi has 4 bronze medals and Zare has one silver and one bronze (of course, with the condition of gold tomorrow, otherwise it will be 2 silver)
And we hope that this competition will continue now. Sarvi was born in 1976 and Zare was born in 1979, that too in January, and he can easily continue in the heavyweight division until he is 35 years old.
