Probably not, also he is from Iran, so none if this is actually going to happen. More of a question about how he'd do in folkstyle as a heavyweight. Guy is going to win a lot of world medals in FS.

98lberEating2Lunches Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) He'd be a multiple AA and win one or two championships after a grayshirt, redshirt, and Olympic redshirt.

nhs67 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I think current Top 4 and maybe Davison and Hendrickson give him fits in Folkstyle. Less so with Schultz, maybe? He wont stall waddle his way to a win against Masoumi. Masoumi is bigger than him. "I know actually nothing.

BAC Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Okie State had that Russian heavyweight a decade ago with legit freestyle creds. Gelogaev I think, aka "Z." I wanna say he took 3rd at Russian Nationals and did well here, had some insanely slick stuff, and I'm pretty sure he AA'd a couple times, but was capped by his limitations on top and bottom (and injuries). I'd expect about the same from Masoumi, though I don't doubt he could finish on top of the podium if he had long enough to work out the kinks in his top/bottom game.

I'm not a professor by title, but it's not used at our school, and I've seen several who weren't fluent in English. That's why I've never heard of it.
