In an interview with the Tasnim news agency’s sports reporter, Saleh Abazari said about the continuation of his good performance after winning the Asian gold medal by repeating this medal in the Russian Karate Grand Prix: Considering that it was a grand prize, this competition was well received by the countries. And there were good Olympic and world champions in most weights. Maybe I can say that the level of these competitions was higher than the Karate One competitions and many good people participated because of the prize.
He added: “Iran’s national karate team stood in third place in the men’s and women’s competitions by winning one gold, one silver and one bronze medal, and I think we placed second in the men’s division.” The children performed very well in these competitions. I was also in good physical condition and I had a history of competition with some of the players I played in the past and thank God I won the gold medal.
Asian karate champion said: I competed in the final with Mehdi Ashuri, who from the other side of the table had advanced to the final with good fights. On the other side of the table, there was also a great champion and “Asiman” was eliminated from Azerbaijan, and Mehdi also won against the Kazakh opponent and showed that he is in good condition. Mahmoud Nemati was also present in this weight and lost in a situation where the judges teased him against a Russian opponent. Nemati is a good karateka and we counted on every member of the team for the World Cup.
Regarding the condition of our country’s team to be successful in the first round of the World Cup competitions held in the team committee section, Abazari said: Not that I believe only myself, but from the perspective of many karatekas in the world, Iran is a very strong team that all have one foot. They know the finals of the World Cup. In the same tournament, I was talking with Arman Eltimur, the former world champion from Türkiye, who believed that Iran is one leg of the finals and that Egypt or France will also be finalists. The whole world knows what a good team we have and if we lost, it was due to chance or circumstances. The power of Iranian karate has been proven to the world and everyone counts on our team.
Regarding Iran’s main rivals for the World Cup championship, he said: Egypt is the only team that is almost complete, and other teams have one star and are not as complete as our team. We are 100% capable of winning Egypt. Jordan beat this team in the finals of the World Cup and we are many times more capable.
Regarding the impact of the national team’s presence in Russia’s preparatory competitions before the World Cup, the Iranian karate player said: 100% of these competitions are effective. When you have more matches, you enter the mat with a better feeling and you have more experience. If the great champions don’t compete for a while, they need some time to find the sense of fighting and timings again. Competing helps an athlete a lot and the Russian competition was also a good experience before the World Cup and we will definitely see its impact.
Abazari said: I have to thank Kaveh Flute Saveh Company and its founder Haj Agha Asgarian, who is one of the great benefactors of Iran, and also Engineer Rahimi, who did me a great favor. These dear ones are the benefactors of our country who built more than 100 schools, universities and hospitals and have supported me for almost 2 years without any expectations. They honored me whenever I won a medal. Maybe if there were a few people like these loved ones in the country’s sports, not only karate but many disciplines would not be a concern anymore.
