Mr. Khas's accounts in Baku were wrong.
The presence of Muhammad Bana at the head of the technical team of the Azerbaijan national wrestling team was accompanied by many expectations; A proud coach who, after years of activity in Iranian wrestling, now has the task of leading Azerbaijan to the gold medal at the Los Angeles Olympics.
Bana's students reached the runner-up position of the World Champions in Astana 2026 by winning 2 gold medals and 1 silver medal and 104 points, but their points difference against Iran, who won the championship with 192 points and won 9 medals, was significant.
Despite this result, the Azerbaijani media had different assessments of the team's performance under the guidance of the Iranian coach. Azerbaijani media wrote that Muhammad expected his students to win 5 or 6 medals, and after the competition he accepted responsibility for some of the results.
One of the important points in the Azerbaijan wrestling team was the loss of supremacy in critical matches. Nihat Mamedali lost 8-4 in the final despite a 4-0 advantage. Gurban Gurbanov also lost the 6-0 lead and lost 7-6. Shesot Jafarf, the bronze medalist of the Paris Olympics, was ahead of his opponent 5-1 in the qualifier, but finally lost 8-5 and was unable to reach a medal.
Another important point in the report of the Azerbaijani media was the state of the Olympic weights. Among the 6 Olympic weights in wrestling, only Sanan Slimenov won a medal at 77 kg. This issue has created concerns about Azerbaijan's composition for the 2028 Olympics.
Recent media reports about Azerbaijan show that the performance of the students of the Iranian coach, despite winning the title of vice-champion of the world, still needs improvement and strengthening from the eyes of this country's experts.
