According to "Varzesh Se", in the first wrestling match of the second day of the 2026 World Championships in Kazakhstan for the Iranians, Fardin Hedayati took to the mat in the 130 kg weight class.
Frederikas of Lithuania was Hedayati's opponent, and in the very first seconds—while the Iranian Greco-Roman heavyweight caught him around the waist—he suffered an injury while executing a throw. The Lithuanian wrestler's injury caused the referee to stop the match after Fardin Hedayati executed the throw.
11 seconds into the match and while Hedayati was leading 4-0, the Lithuanian wrestler informed the medical staff that he could not continue wrestling, and the bout ended with Fardin's victory.
This victory may be considered one of the fastest wins in the history of World Wrestling Championships, achieved in 11 seconds!
With this win, Hedayati will face Seirlibay of Kazakhstan in the second round. Riza Kayaalp, the 13-time World and Olympic medalist from Turkey, and Sergey Semyonov, the World Champion and Olympic bronze medalist from Russia, are in Hedayati's bracket.
