Awarding a Quarter Gold Coin to the Asian Games Wrestling Champion
The Javan newspaper wrote: After the story of the kettle and the men’s leather belt for the female athlete, this time in the city of Shahriar, a quarter gold coin was given to the wrestling champion of the Asian Games. Younes Emami, along with his coach, attended the ceremony and after receiving the gift, returned it to the head of the county sports department so that the gentlemen wouldn’t think they’ve performed a great feat.
The Asian champion and other medalists should be justified in comparing their gifts and rewards to those of football players. Honestly, would that official give a quarter gold coin to a football player, and not even a very famous one? Although the value of the quarter gold coin has increased with rising prices, it still doesn’t align with the slogan of supporting champions.
