TEHRAN – Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has praised the Iranian Greco-Roman wrestling national team for gaining second place in the 2021 World Wrestling Championship.
“Congratulations to the country’s Greco-Roman wrestling champions and to their coach who have made all Iranians happy, especially the youth. God willing, you will continue to be successful,” said Ayatollah Khamenei in a message issued on the occasion of Iranian wrestlers’ victories in the 2021 World Wrestling Championship in Oslo, Norway.
