The Iranian wrestler had initially routed his Norwegian and Croat rivals.

Also on Saturday, Mohsen Seir overwhelmed his Croat opponent in the final competition of the men�s over 80-kiloram class, and was awarded the gold medal.

The 2016 Beach Wrestling World Championships started in Fa�ana, Croatia, on June 3, and will finish on June 5.

Senior competitions are scheduled to take place on Sunday evening.
