Iranian wrestler Alireza Sarlek earns last-minute spot in Paris Olympics

Alireza Sarlek has earned a last-minute entry into the 2024 Paris Olympic Games after Serbian wrestler Stefan Micic's withdrawal due to injury. The unexpected development saw the valuable quota spot for the 57-kg freestyle wrestling event go to Iran.

The Iranian Wrestling Federation acted swiftly, and with the approval of the International Olympic Committee and United World Wrestling, the spot was granted to Iran's contingent.

Federation officials had initially rushed to send Milad Valizadeh to Paris by securing a visa, but with Sarlek's name now on the list for the 57-kg freestyle wrestling event, it appears that Valizadeh's mission was unsuccessful.
