Respect to mr. khadem ,it is silly and childish to forfeit matches. I can understand the iranian regime being antagonistic towards Israel but sport should be above all that, at the end of the day it is just a wrestling match. It is an opportunity for iranian wrestlers to gain victory over their israeli counterparts. I suspect that the biggest fear of the iranian government ,or the iranian regime, is that iranian and israeli wrestlers would get along very well ,with mutual respect and that is what the authorities in Iran are really afraid of. Irainian and israeli wrestlers should compete, it would be a missed opportunity not to, after all, life is too short for silly and petty squabbles ...

What are the iranians afraid of ?
