Wrestling and Iran

From themat.com





It might be an understament to label relations between the U.S. and Iran as "tense." But one place the relationship is strong is in the sport of wrestling.

More evidence of the ties between the U.S. and Iran's relationship in wrestling comes from the Olympic Training Center this week, where several Iranian coaches and wrestlers are training in Colorado Springs along side the resident athletes.

Led by head coach and four-time World Medalist Gholam Mohammadi, several Iranians are making their first trip to the U.S.

Mohammadi, with Mo Kaveh as an interpreter, talks about the training in Colorado Springs while Zeke Jones adds his own personal touch.

Watch the interview below.


  An exciting opportunity wrestling has to reach the people of the world!
