First of all, this is sport anything can and usually will happen.
1) In wrestling you need the luck of "draw".
If you look at the draw you see that the bottom half of the draw was by FAR MUCH stronger than top half. You basically had #1 ranked (sourian) #2 ranked (Korean) #3 ranked Russian and # 5 ranked (Serbian) there. Only #4 ranked was in the other half.
So Sourian had to start with #7 rank, (won), then he beat an unknown, then he lost to #3, then he beat #5 ranked and lost to # ranked.
2) He did not really lose any match, 2 matches were TIED, but by stupid rule that whomever scores last should win, he lost. They used to have (4 years ago) the most aggressive wrestler given the win in case of tie. This was much more fair.
3) The russian wrestler had a lot more experience than him, 5 more years od competitive wrestling
4) He wrestled one extra match!!!! There should be a system that protects top rated wrestlers to have extra bouts.
5) He had an injury
6) he is only 22, A wrestlers peak is between 25-28.
7) Wrestlerss like Mango (american) who is in same weight class as sourian have been trianed from very early age with all the possibliteies. Is that the case for sourian? He is doing this because he loves the sport and Iran so give the poor guy a break (to both ISP and a few members)
That was my 2 cents
