AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iranian world champion wrestler, Amirhossein Zare, has dedicated his two recently-won gold medals in continental and world championships to the Imam Reza holy shrine’s Central Museum.
Zare made the offer in a ceremony on Thursday in Mashhad which was attended by a number of national as well as provincial sports and cultural officials at Imam Reza shrine’s Center for Exhibitions and Conferences.
Saying that he has offered all his medals to Imam Reza shrine’s museums since beginning of his professional activities, he stated: “Before the World and Asian Games, I made a solemn commitment to dedicate my medals to this center if they were dold. Today, I am honored to fulfill that pledge by personally presenting my medals to the Central Museum of Imam Reza's holy shrine.”
"I have held deep love and devotion for Imam Reza (AS) since my childhood. I entered into this win-win arrangement with him and I aspire to continue receiving his support in the future," he added.
Zare concluded by saying, "I always seek Imam Reza's (AS) attention and help before my competitions, and I hope that all Iranian athletes, especially the upcoming generation, will establish a heartfelt connection with Imam Reza (AS) as well."
The 125-kg category freestyle wrestler had won the gold medals in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and in 2023 World Wrestling Championships in Belgrade, Serbia.
