Dear Mr. Ali Gharqi, esteemed champion and proud member of the national team of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Your remarkable and honor-bringing achievements at the 5th World Cup of Zurkhaneh Sports and Pahlavani Wrestling, held in India, have become a source of pride for the community of traditional and Pahlavani sports across the Asian continent.

Your success in winning two world gold medals—especially securing first place in your specialty discipline, Charkh-e Tiz, with an outstanding score of 30—along with your active contribution to Iran’s powerful team championship, clearly reflects the exceptional capabilities and high potential of athletes in this discipline.

It must be acknowledged that, beyond the technical results, what further elevated the significance of this victory was your display of national pride and patriotism. The moment you rendered a military salute to the sacred flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran created a lasting image of commitment and valor by the new generation of Pahlavans on the international stage.

In addition to congratulating the young champion, I deem it necessary to extend my special congratulations on this great achievement to Mr. Haj Hossein Gharqi, the respected veteran and esteemed Head of the Technical Committee of the Asian Confederation. The rare brilliance of his distinguished son on the world stage stands as clear testimony to years of dedication, mentorship, and mastery within the noble school of Pahlavani tradition.

We pray to Almighty God for your continued sporting success and the enduring embodiment of Pahlavani values.

With highest respect,

Amir Reza Airom
Member of the Board of Directors
Asian Confederation of Zurkhaneh Sports and Pahlavani Wrestling
