    Tehran Times Sports Desk
    TEHRAN - Ali Ashkani brought Iran's world Greco-Roman tally to two as
    he finished runner-up to the Armenian-born Bulgarian wrestler Armen
    Nazarian in Budapest, capital of Hungary, Sunday night.

    The Iranian wonderkid, who overpowered all his opponents, was handed
    a defeat by twice Olympic gold medalist Nazarian in the final showdown.

    Nazarian garnered six points in 1min 7sec in the first half and
    came from 3-0 down after the break to win the second period 4-3,
    with Ashkani receiving three cautions within 1min 35sec.

    Ashkani's silver was a boost to his teammate Hamid Sourian's 55kg gold.

    Eusebiu Diaconu from Romania and the Czech representative Petr Svehla
    tied at No. 3.
