Iran\u2019s Greco-Roman wrestler Saeid Abdevali in 75kg weight category won the bronze medal match in 2016 Olympics.<\/p>\n

Abdevali overcame P\u00e9ter B\u00e1csi of Hungary 3-1 in the semifinals of Men’s Greco-Roman 75 kg and added a bronze to the tally of Iran\u2019s medals.<\/p>\n

The Iranian wrestler, who had struck on off draw in the first round, conceded a defeat against Mark Overgaard Madsen of Denmark 1-3 in the first round. However, given that his Danish rival became a finalist, Abdevali found his way to the Rep\u00eachage round 2 where he quelled Serbia\u2019s Viktor Neme\u0161 3-1.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in 59kg category, Iran\u2019s Hamid Sourian conceded two bitter defeats to get eliminated from Rio Olympic Games. He was overcome by Shinobu Ota of Japan in the qualifications round and also failed to take advantage of his chance in the Rep\u00eachage round 1 by losing to his Kazakh rival Almat Kebispayev 0-5.<\/p>\n

Hamid Sourian marks the most successful Iranian wrestler who owns six world gold medals and a title in the Olympics. \/ MNA<\/p>\n
