"Certainly we'll be working with our, probably you'd call sport rivals, but they are friends
in sport too. And we'll be standing arm in arm with Iran, and we'll be standing with
Russia as we will with lots of other countries. Those (countries) really do make a difference
because politically we're not always on the same page, or politically with Russia, but
in wrestling there's no doubt that we are all together in this effort and we consider
Iran one of our strongest allies in the sport of wrestling."
"I think they are one of our strongest allies, the care about the sport, not just about what's
best for Iran, but about what's best for the sport of wrestling. And we really believe
the same so we have great confidence that we can work with the Iranian wrestling federation,
Iranian wrestlers and the Iranian people to show the world that, no matter what's happening
politically, we have the same goal and the same belief and passion about the sport of
wrestling."
