According to Varzesh Three, during the World Greco-Roman Wrestling Championships in Kazakhstan, Fardin Hedayati started his campaign in the 130 kg category with a victory, defeating Lithuania's Romas Fridrikas 4-0 in the first round. In the second round, he is set to face Kazakhstan's Alimkhan Syrymbay, while Turkey's 13-time World and Olympic medalist Rıza Kayaalp and Russia's World Champion and Olympic bronze medalist Sergey Semyonov are also in his bracket.
However, following this victory, an interesting scene unfolded in the warm-up room for Iran's heavyweight wrestler. Upon entering the room, Hedayati was greeted by Alireza Dabir, the president of the Iranian Wrestling Federation. While the national team's masseuse was busy massaging and recovering the wrestler for his upcoming crucial bouts, Dabir stepped in and personally assisted with Hedayati's massage and recovery for a few minutes—a move that drew considerable attention.
Over the past few days, the wrestling federation president has also shown that his presence alongside the national team members is not limited to a managerial role. During the competitions, Dabir is present alongside the wrestlers in the warm-up room and training hall, and is even seen supporting them during their preparation and warm-up stages.
