2011 World Weightlifting Championship, France
November 5 - 13
Iranian weightlifters left Iran on Thursday, November 3, 2011.
Interesting statistics about Iran.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Weightlifting_Championships
Iran either did not participate or did not win anything from 1991 - 1998 and 2007, 2009
The Champinship was held in Tehran, Iran twice:
1957 November 8-12
1965 October 27 - November 3
Iran in overall medal ranking is in Number 9 position. I thought we should be higher.
Mohammad Nassiri is the most famous Iranian who won 9 medals (5 gold, 1 silver, 3 bronze)

In 2003, Iran ranked 2nd and I was in Vancouver to watch the games.
4Gold 1 Silver,
I am surprised there is no mention of Hossein Reza-zadeh. Here is Reza-zadeh's record
1999 1 Silver Overall: Bronze
2002 3 Gold... Overall: Gold
2003 2 Gold 1 Silver..... Overall: Gold
2005 2Gold 1 Silver..... Overall: Gold
2006 3Gold Overall: Gold
Half of Iranian medals in Weightlifting have been won by two people: Nassiri and Reza-zadeh
Good wishes to our Weighlifters in 2011.
