TEHRAN - Olympic and world champion wrestler Hassan Yazdani traveled to shrine city of Mashhad to visit a care home on Sunday.

Yazdani visited Shahid Beheshti Care Home and wrestled with a young disabled boy in his meeting. He was defeated by a technical fall.

His symbolic loss made the residents happy.

The popular wrestler has recently claimed a gold medal in the 2021 World Wrestling Championships in Oslo, Norway, where he could defeat his American rival David Taylor for the first time.
