Tim Ferrangi’s hat trick was not completed

Iranian wrestling star Alireza Mehmedi did not fulfill his dream of a hat trick for the Ferangi team.

According to Sport 3, a few minutes ago, in the final of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Iranian 87kg wrestler faced his Bulgarian opponent Semen Novikov and lost by 7 points, and it seemed that he was not so far away from his opponent.

In the first quarter, the boat entered the second quarter after being warned by Mehmedi, and the result was 3-0. While everyone was waiting for the referee to decide the landing of the Bulgarian opponent, they warned Mehmedi in the second quarter. The control of the boat should be taken away from the Iranian representative.

Until the end of the match, Mehmadi tried to make up for the lost points, but his attack evaded his opponent, leading to other points for Novikov, making the result of this match far from what Iranian wrestling fans expected. Mehmadi lost the match 7-0 and was very frustrated, unwilling to leave the mat and unwilling to accept the hands of his opponent.

This Olympic wrestling final was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the powerful 31-year-old Iranian wrestler to tie his years of hard work in the sport to the history of Iranian sports by winning a gold medal, but it did not happen. More or less mistakes and, of course, the first time he gave up in front of his opponent’s dock, all worked against Mehmedi, who we had hoped would bring Iran the third gold medal of the Farangikaran.

With this achievement, Mohammed Bana’s record of three gold medals at the London Olympics remains unrepeatable, although the wrestling team won four medals, including two golds, one silver and one bronze, which is the best result in wrestling history.

An interesting point is that Mehmedi lost to his Bulgarian opponent, a battle that will be repeated tomorrow in the 97kg freestyle bout between Ramzhanov and Hassan Yazdani, where Iranian wrestling is expected to avenge that loss.

He told Mehmadi not to get tired and wiped the sweat off his face. He tried his best to win the championship, but the level of the Olympics is different and the result of this match could change despite the grace of the referee.
