According to “Varesh Se”, Iran’s national freestyle wrestling team won 6 medals including 2 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze in the 2026 World Championship held on November 7-10 hosted by Astana, Kazakhstan, and ranked third with a total of 133 points. Ahmad Mohammad Nejad Javan and Amir Hossein Zare won gold medals, Mohammad Nakhudi won silver, and Rahman Amozad, Amir Mohammad Yazdani and Hassan Yazdani also won bronze medals.
But one of the interesting reactions to this result was related to Amir Ali Azarpira; A wrestler who was considered a rival of Hasan Yazdani in the weight of 97 kg and was defeated by him in the selection competition to lose the opportunity to participate in the world championships.
Despite his absence in these competitions, Azarpira congratulated his teammates on their success and posted a picture of the national free wrestling team on his Instagram page and wrote: “Congratulations to our brave fighters and our unique staff.”
