Powered by Crowd Iran Captures Fourth Greco-Roman World Cup Title in Five Years

FILA-Official.com TEHRAN (May 16) – Despite an injured star wrestler, last minute roster fluctuations and a coaching change, in the end nothing could stop the Iranian Greco-Roman team from capturing their fourth World Cup title in five years.

Lead by injured 2012 Olympic champion Hamid SORYAN (59kg) and 2013 world champion Taleb NEMATPOUR (85kg) the Iranian team battled past defending champion Russia 6-2. The win avenged their loss in the finals at the 2013 World Cup and put to rest a week that saw the departure of longtime coach Mohammed BANA and doubts about who would take the mat for Iran.

Soryan inspired the packed Hatfe-Tir Wrestling Hall in Tehran with a thrilling come-from-behind 6-5 victory in the opening match. The Iranian wrestler, who was wrestling through an upperback injury, was losing 4-1 late in the second period when, assisted by the chants of the home crowd, powered through a series of gut wrenches from the par terre position.

“I was a tough final for me,” said Soryan. “I was a little disappointed during the final match, but I defeated him by support of fans. Still, I am not satisfied about my performance.”

Saeed ABDEVALI (71kg) and Habibollah AKHLAGHI (80kg) matched Russian victories by World No.1 Adam KURAK (66kg) and 2012 Olympic champions Roman VLASOV (75kg) to make the team score 3-2 heading into 85kg where Iran’s Taleb NEMATPOUR faced Davit CHAKVETADZE of Russia.

Nematpour was winning 2-1 with :01 to wrestle when he fled a hold and risked losing the match on a third and final caution. The Russian side protested but it was Nematpour who came away the winner.

I knew the time is over but I apologize to the fans,” said Nematpour. “I should not have stopped wrestling. It made the fans under pressure and stressful.”

Mehdi ALIYARI sealed the team victory for Iran beating 2013 world champion Nikita MELNIKOV, 3-1 to push the team score to a definitive 5-2. Iran’s Bashir BABAJANZADEH put the finishing touches on a big evening beating Vasily PARSHIN of Russia by technical fall, 9-0. The Iranian team had previously won titles in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Iranian Wrestling Federation president and head men’s freestyle coach Rasul Khadem after the match addressed the effort of the wrestlers and fans.

“We are thankful to God that we fulfilled our fan’s expectations,” said Iranian Khadem. “I am happy to win at home. We dominated by power in the final match and I hope to see a day for Iran wrestling where we continue to win championships.”

Nematpour, still souring from his almost-loss told reporters that he knew who to thank for their team’s win.

“Certainly this title was the result of our wrestlers efforts,” said Nematpour. “But we really won because of the incredible support of our fans.”
