According to SAEDNEWS, In an impressive display of resilience and skill, Saravi bounced back from an early 0-1 deficit to dominate his opponent with a convincing 4-1 victory on Wednesday. This win secured his place in the finals and showcased his determination in a challenging match.

Just a day earlier, Saravi showcased his prowess in the 97-kg category with a commanding 6-0 win over Egypt's Mohamed Gabr, sending him into the finals with confidence.

His journey to this point was marked by a series of strong performances. In the opening round, Saravi overwhelmed Joseph Rau from the United States with an impressive 10-1 victory. He continued his dominance in the quarterfinals, where he easily defeated Kyrgyzstan's Uzur Dzhuzupbekov with a flawless 8-0 scoreline, ensuring his advancement to the semi-finals.

Saravi brings a wealth of experience to the mat, having previously won a gold medal in the 97-kg category at the 2021 World Wrestling Championships in Oslo, Norway. He also earned a bronze medal in the same category at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.

With Saravi’s latest triumph, he has played a crucial role in helping Iran ascend to the 40th position in the Olympic rankings.
