Mazandaran’s Warrior, Iran’s Pride
He tore his knee. He had surgery. He disappeared for a year.
Then he came back and broke the world record. 🔥
Alireza Yousefi. 261kg Clean & Jerk. +110kg Asian Championships. Done. 💥
But the moment that got everyone —
He walked onto that platform with “162 Martyrs of Minab” written on his chest.
162 students who were killed in a school attack back home.
He didn’t dedicate the medal to them after. He went there for them. 🤍
That’s not just athletics. That’s character.
From the era of Hossein Rezazadeh to today — Iran never left that platform. 🏆
