Iranians collect double GR golds, bronzes in U17 Worlds
Stepping into the 48kg final on the back of three technical-superiority wins, not conceding a single point, Armin Shamsipour capped his dominant run with a 10-1 victory over Uzbekistan’s Khusniddin Abdukarimov to walk away with the ultimate prize.
Amir-Mahdi Saeidinava clinched a second gold for the country in the Jordanian capital, coming out victorious over Vladyslav Pokotylo of Ukraine in the 65kg final.
The Iranian launched Pokotylo for a massive four-point throw and never looked in trouble in securing a 6-2 win.
Elsewhere, Emad-Reza Mohsennejad bounced back from a 9-0 loss to Mikhail Shkarin, participating as an individual neutral athlete, in the semifinals to defeat Bulgarin Dinko Neykov 6-0 for the 80kg joint-bronze alongside Vladyslav Solodchuk of Ukraine.
Shkarin went on to beat Yerkebulan Anapiya of Uzbekistan 3-0 in the final showpiece.
Iranian Aliasghar Dadbakhsh also finished his campaign with a consolation bronze.
Representing the country in the 110kg contests, Dadbakhsh overcame opponents from Kazakhstan and Armenia to reach the last four, before an 8-0 setback against Ukraine’s Ivan Yankovski sent him into the third-place bout.
A 3-1 win against Chinese Haorui Wang saw the Iranian share the third podium with Ronak Ronak of India, with Yankovski coming out on top against Hungarian Zoltan Czako 13-4 for the gold.
Amir-Ali Heydari, meanwhile, was unlucky to end his 55kg campaign empty-handed after a loss to Armenian Yurik Mkhitaryan in the bronze-medal contest.
