On Tuesday, Iran inserted five wrestlers into the finals and grabbed four gold medals. Today, they followed that up by placing four additional wrestlers into the finals, winning two gold medals.

Hosein FOROUZANDEH GHOJEHBEIGLOU (IRI) and Amin KAVIYANINEJAD (IRI) were the two Iranian heroes who closed out the Greco-Roman portion of the tournament with gold medals. Both wrestlers used shutout victories to claim their second age-level continental championships.

Sajjad IMENTALABFOUMANI (IRI) was the lone Iranian who didn’t make the Greco-Roman finals.
