The highlight of Rupin’s Wrestling tournament

Rupin lost the match after giving a tough fight at a score of 1-3. The final match was with another strong competitor from Iran, Poya Soulat Dad Marz.

Rupin won the gold medal in the 2019 World Cadet Championship. He started this tournament with a 16-7 win with a strong performance. It was so good that he won by technical superiority against Kyrgyzstan’s player, Sardarbek in the qualification round.

Following that, he proved his mettle against Kazakhstan’s Amangali Rahimbayev and China’s Zhang Haifeng in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively.
