TEHRAN, Oct. 11 (MNA) – Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei 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. 

The Iranian Greco-Roman wrestling team collected 4 gold and 2 bronze medals in total to become the vice-champion of this year's competitions after Russian in the first place and before Azerbaijan in the third place.
