Morad Mohammadi wins a bronze medal in the 60kg freestyle wrestling to become the first Iranian medalist in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Mohammadi beat Zelimkhan Huseynov of Azerbaijan 5-1 to secure the first medal for the Iranian squad in the 11th day of the Olympic Games. Watch video of the medal ceremony.

Iran has had a disappointing showing so far at the Olympics. Its national basketball team has been unable to win a match, and the country only has 1 medal. In 2000 Sydney, Iran had 4 medals and in 2004 Athens, Iran had 6 medals.
