I can answer this one.

look at our performance in the olympics and the world championships, the top competition in wrestling. Our performance has been disastrous. There was time where we could count on at least one gold medal from our freestyle wrestlers, 2-3 additional medals from our freestyle team, and our GR team would surprise us with one or two medals
Well i certainly agree that the last Olympics we were dreadful, absolutely dreadful. It was an embarrassment.

it's not just the olympics performance. It used to be that in freestyle, we had at least one dominating favorite (e.g. rassoul khadem), with two or three medal favorites (jadidi, Heidari, Dabir). we don't have that in freestyle (we have that in GR with Sourian, his olympic performance aside)

what is even worse is that our wrestlers get pinned!! When is the last time you saw a Russian get pinned?
