[@jakedemaggio8649]

What? Wrestling in the U.S has been a significant part of our culture going back to the very beginning when we were still British colonies (the very first colonists brought wrestling from Europe) After independence wrestling in The United Stares continued to develop Starting with ‘catch wrestling’ which was extremely popular & included submissions (you shouted uncle when submitted) and even had ‘no rules’ wrestling matches. American wrestlers would challenge the top grapplers from all over the world including the top judokas from Japan with the American catch wrestlers (also was called shoot fighting) often winning. Eventually it evolved into folk style wrestling removing the submissions and replacing it with the ‘pin’ to make it safe so it could be a ‘school sport’ with schools all over the country creating wrestling teams. Eventually this developed into freestyle wrestling when wrestling was re-introduced to the Olympics. Folk style is still the style practiced in America today. Wrestling became a huge sport in America and promoters would promote and hype wrestling matches all over the country, eventually they started scripting the matches which developed into what is now pro wrestling (scripted & choreographed) but there was a point where pro wrestling & sport wrestling were one. The split happened gradually over time, once the ncaa developed along with the Olympics, that’s when there was a split. Very interesting history. Wrestling goes way way back to Ancient Greece, The wrestling then was extremely tough and included submissions if I’m remembering correctly.

[@aryair1411]

Dear friend, wrestling in Iran is more than a sport. If you have noticed, when Iranian wrestlers enter the mat, they touch the ground with their hand and rub their hand on their lips and forehead. In fact, they kiss the mat because they consider the wrestling arena sacred. In our Iranian culture, chivalry and respect are more important than winning in wrestling. Wrestlers and basically all the athletes who observe chivalry and respect for the opponent are called Pahlavan. Pouria Vali and Gholamreza Takhti are the most famous "pahlavan's" in the history of Iran, and many sports centers are named after them. In a match that has determined the city's pahlavan, Pouria Vali loses the match on purpose so as not to upset his rival's mother (without the rival and his mother knowing about the incident). You can read his story on the Internet.

[@saraazar223]

This is the traditional way of Iran's "pahlevan" culture. We traditionally value honest competition above winning. Wrestling and truthfulness are Iran's two oldest traditions rooted in Zoroastrian ideas and appear in our literary history even before the formation of civilization to the west or east of Iran. It looks like what you saw in this match. You can't find bad sportsmanship among professional Iranian athletes but you will see the most traditional of athletes showing grace and even mercy to their opponents, like the champions Gholamreza Takhti and Pouria Vali were known to do. The pahlevan leans on 7000 years of native Iranian philosophy like there's nothing else and doesn't disgrace it by getting greedy or egomaniacal.

You aren't wrong. 2 points and a caution was bullshit. Either its a push out or not but it wasn't fleeing. Defense that is legal in the 1st is still legal with 20 seconds left in the 2nd. Refs have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much arbitrary power in international wrestling.

[@k2vehlondon249]

I'm a proud Iranian as far as it goes but Jordon was and still is such a hero and legend. I would have loved for him to retire undefeated. So much respect for this man.

Russian athletes of all disciplines have been banned from every single international sports competition this year because of retarded politics. Sidakov hasn't wrestled internationally against any other country since Tokyo 2020. Sidakov has remained undefeated since 2021.

[@saraazar223]

This is the traditional way of Iran's "pahlevan" culture ✌We traditionally value honest competition above winning. Wrestling and truthfulness are Iran's two oldest traditions rooted in Zoroastrian ideas and appear in our literary history even before the formation of civilization to the west or east of Iran. It looks like what you saw in this match. You can't find bad sportsmanship among professional Iranian athletes but you will see the most traditional of athletes showing grace and even mercy to their opponents, like Gholamreza Takhti was famous for.

[@beyondhomosapien]

Wow that was incredible. Congrats to Iran! What an amazing wrestling team with a big win over the GOAT. Jordan is looking great as always but the technician from the Iranian team got him this time.

Russian and Iranian and American 🇮 is a wrestling powerhouse but Burroughs is a beast Ali is tough. My friend is Kurt Angle. I asked him point blank, 'Who is the toughest team you guys go against? " I thought he was going to say Russia, but he said Iran. He also said,' They wrestle you hard, but they also wrestle clean, not dirty, and they shake your hand weather they win or lose." He did not say it directly, but he was implying that Russians wrestle dirty. They call it KOSHTI and Wrestling is RELLIGION in Iran.

[@Tdinh79]

1) they all run when they have a lead with 15 second left. It's not just the Iranians, for Burroughs does it too. 2) even if there was OT and not criteria, the Iranianian would have adjusted to ensure he doesnt get pushed out. He knew he could get pushed out and still win. No biggie. They all play the rules to their benefit.

Guys, can someone explain me, why in 0:54 time when Iri wrestler pushed burroughs out, he didn't get 1 point, but when burroughs push Iri wrestler out in 9:04 time, а jury gave him 2 points? As i know, when first wrestler push out another he gets a 1 point. (Sorry if i made mistake, i just learn this language)

[@standforgod1131]

If you put your knee down when being pushed, it doesn't count as a point. It's grounding rule. It is a tactic the US wrestlers use to not give up a point when they are being pushed out.
