Irans Mojtaba Karimfar seizes bronze in Asian Games
TEHRAN (Tasnim) Greco-Roman wrestler Mojtaba Karimfar from Iran claimed a bronze medal on Wednesday in the 2014 Asian Games underway in Incheon, South Korea.
Karimfar beat Azat Beishebekov 3-0 and claimed the bronze medal.



I am happy to win the bronze medal however I could have won the gold medal but refereeing decisions went against me, Karimfar said.

Iran has participated in the games with 276 athletes in 22 sports.
