Tehran Times Sports Desk

HERNING, Denmark- Iranian Greco-Roman wrestler Hamid Sourian won the
title of the 2009 FILA World Championships in Herning, Denmark to
collect his fourth gold medal of the World Championships.

Sourian defeated Spanish Joaquà – n Martà – nez 2`0, Spenser
Mango from the U.S. 2`0, Erhan Karakus of Turkey 2-0, Dane Hakan
Nyblom 2-0 and advanced to the final game.

Sourian defeated Armenia’s Roman Amoyan 2-0 in the final and won his
fourth straight World title in Greco-Roman.

The talented Iranian wrestler had already claimed the gold medals in
2005 Budapest, 2006 Guangzhou and 2007 Baku. He has also won the 2007
Bishkek and 2008 Jeju City in the Asian Junior Championships.

`I tried hard in the past ten months to get gold in the World
Championships. I believed in myself and proved my failure in the 2008
Beijing Olympic Games was accidental,’ Sourian said.

The 2009 FILA Wrestling World Championships at the Messecenter Herning
exhibition center will finish September 27
