Esmaeil Baqaei: 'The passing of Abdullah Movahed, a wrestling legend with five world gold medals and one Olympic gold, is a reminder of a unique feature of Iranian civilization and culture; in Iran, what remains is not just heroism, but heroism. Movahed will remain in the collective memory of Iranians not only with his medals, but also with his patriotic zeal - even when he was outside of Iran. I offer my condolences to the sports community and the people of Iran on his passing.'
