Komeil Ghasemi Honored for Winning Gold at 2012 Olympics
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian heavyweight freestyler Komeil Ghasemi, who has been recently awarded the 2012 Olympic Games gold medal, was honored on Wednesday.
Ghasemi was honored at the Khane-ye-Koshti (Wrestling House) in Tehran and members of Iran freestyle national team were in attendance.
Uzbek freestyle wrestler Artur Taymazov was stripped of his London 2012 Olympic gold medal last week after re-analysis of stored samples.
Ghasemi has become the new gold medalist, Bilyal Makhov from Russia remains silver, and Tervel Dlagnev from USA is the newest bronze medalist.
