It's no secret that Iranian fans expect greatness from their wrestlers, and gold medal droughts are unwelcome. In 1996, Rasoul KHADEM ended a 28-year Olympic gold brought when he upended five-time world champion and two-time Olympic champion Makharbek KHADARTSEV (RUS) in the 90kg Olympic finals.Four years later, it was Alireza DABIR who snatched gold. The win at the Sydney Games delivered Iran its first-ever back-to-back gold medal performance at the Games.Then, another decade's long medal drought began.That's when Hassan YAZDANI showed up. Some call him Yazdani, but most know him simply as "The Greatest."The 21-year-old lanky youngster with golden ambitions took to the mats at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio wrestling in search of redemption for his homeland.Yazdani trailed Russia's grizzled veteran Anuiar GEDUEV 6-0 in the 74kg finals, but you don't earn a nickname like "The Greatest" without the ability to perform feats of heroism.Yazdani scored six unanswered points and secured the 6-6 criteria victory. With his #IconicPerformance in Rio, Yazdani became the first Iranian gold medalist in 16 years and reignited the wrestling passion of a nation.Don't miss a move : http://bit.ly/more-wrestling
