Also, in 61kg category, Mohammadbagher Yakhkeshi gained a gold medal but was then disqualified for what was announced as “failure to cooperate with United World Wrestling’s medal ceremony procedures,” as reported by UWW website. “According to United World Wrestling’s rule book, wrestlers have to wear their countries tracksuit on the podium to receive their medal. Yakhkeshi, who was wearing short sleeves, was asked several times to comply with the rules but failed to do so, among many other things, which resulted in disqualification.”

Abbas Foroutan gained a silver in 97kg while Nader Hajiaghania in 57kg, Yones Emami in 70kg, and Arashk Mohebi in 92kg earned bronze medals.

As far as team ranking is concerned, Iran stood third in the table with 111 points after Kazakhstan and Russia with 162 and 147 points respectively.
