Greco-Roman wrestler and world champion, Ali Arsalan, will replace Khetik Tsabolov (74 kg) at the Olympic Games in Paris. Tsabolov suffered an injury on the eve of the tournament, which prevented him from participating. The Serbian head coach decided to invite Arsalan, a prominent Greco-Roman wrestler, as the best candidate.
The 29-year-old Iranian-born wrestler has an impressive collection of medals, but has virtually no experience in freestyle wrestling. Nevertheless, he is preparing hard for the tournament and trying to get used to the freestyle wrestling style.
