Iran's Komeil Ghasemi takes on the USA's Tervel Ivaylov Dlagnev in the bronze medal bout in the men's freestyle wrestling 120kg event at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The 1900 Games were the only ones where wrestling was not present in any shape or form. As from the 1908 Olympic Games in London, Greco-Roman wrestling has always been included on the programme. Since the 1920 Antwerp Games, there have been both freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling competitions.

The Iranian audience just give me life

[@hello91105]

Iran is too good!

[@razimokarram8538]

Love Iran 🇮🇷 from india 🇮🇳

[@seanpour6742]

Wrestling for Iranians is a way of life. It is deeply rooted in our traditions. Unlike European or Western countries, we did NOT pick it up from any other country or nation. Wrestling is our own National Sport.

[@seanpour6742]

Funny!!!? No. That is NOT funny. Wrestling in Iranian culture has it's roots in ancient times. It is way older than what you may think. By the way, your so Called Greco-Roman wrestling is known by that name in Western countries but not in Iran, Asia or the East for that matter. Over there they have their own so many different versions of it and it has nothing to do with Greece or Rome. I am just saying study a little bit more.

[@seanpour6742]

Well, the supreme irony is when I get the information you find unpleasant from your own history books. Lets get one thing straight, I like Western culture and people, Americans in particular and I don't like to offend anyone here although you tried to offend me...It doesn't matter for me a bit. However I do not stand back and let anyone attack the heritage of Iranian people. "Your culture" is made up from so many other different cultures and beliefs (from west and east) which is a good thing. Nevertheless, I don't know why you get the misguided notion that you are superior to other people from other countries. Iranians, Americans, Asians, Europeans, etc are all human beings but with different way of life. Anyway, we are not discussing how superior west is in terms of technological advancements, but we are talking about wrestling here. In my statement I said wrestling is older in Iran, Asia and the East than in Europe and the western countries and I stand by what I said. I did Not use the word "stole" in any of my comments and I suggest not to use such words so loosely. By the way, the cave paintings you talked about are in Mongolia not in france. At least, Google it. Oh, just to let you know, I am not going to respond to you either.

Ghasemi was so powerful that Dlagnev had to rely on perfect execution of great technical moves, and finish with such quickness in executing to completion these moves in hopes of offsetting such great power Ghasemi had. So tiring is that task. What an awesome match.

[@alireza1340]

IRAN land of CHAMPS .

[@mrjohn5836]

not surprised because iranians should win this game for being their game in history then got to the roman . alot of funny people call it roman wrestling while persia was started this game before the existence of roman as a civilization , and the persian called this game zoorkana which is wrestling game .

[@BangTheRocksTogether]

You're not wrong but Persia didn't invent wrestling. Everyone in the world wrestles.

[@AakeTraak]

I't called that because of the roman rules. There are other kinds of wrestling too.

[@rezyousef2689]

mr john wrestling was one of the games in old Olympics in ancient Greece also some sort of wrestling usually was going on in old days . zorkhaneh started mostly after Islam in Iran because some of Iranians secretly was exercising to fight with Arab rollers. if you like I can give you more details about history of wrestling and Olympics RESPECT

Iran is not that good at wrestling. Russia with 167 olympic medals and USA with 125 Olympic medals are 10 times better then Iran with only 38 Olympic medals. There is Japan with 62 Olympic medals, Turkey 58 Olympic medals Sweden 84 all are a lot better then Iran with only 38 medals.

[@hadimiri781]

[@user-te7bg4dd1c]

+Castellazi and you are suppose to be what. supporter of us, england or roman history? Fact is non these so called empires achieved anything culturally or humanitarianly other than corruption, savagery and theft so quite down before you call any 1 else stupid, cause the reality is you and ppl like-minded are the stupid ones

[@Persian771]

Well if Iran could have its women which are half of the population decently could have more medals but the religious government in that country doesn't let people to perform any better than that.

[@CastellazziTal]

+Persian771 only Japan have a lot of women wrestlers. Russia not and they are still light years ahead of Iran.
