Iran Press/America: The UWW has announced the five candidates to be named the best freestyle wrestlers in the world in the current year.
Kamran Ghasempour, who is wrestling in the 92-kilogram weight class and is a two-time world champion, is among the top five freestyle wrestlers in 2022.
Jordan Burroughs and Kyle Snyder from the United States, Rei Higuchi from Japan and Taha Akgül from Turkiye are other nominees for the title.
Ghasempour's excellent performance in Belgrade, Serbia, during the 2022 World Wrestling Championships and collecting gold medal for the second year in a row, when he overpowered US wrestler J'den Cox, are among the main reasons behind nominating Ghasempour for the title.
