Pahlevans Of Iran
Pahlevan of Iran ( fa, پهلوان ایران) is a national championship for pahlevani wrestling (''koshti pahlavāni'') held annually in Iran. Though the competition has ancient roots, its modern form began in 1944. The champion earns the title of ''Pahlevan'' and the right to wear the ''Bazouband'' (championship armband). Described as "tangled up with the soul of Iranian peoples", the title is athletically and culturally prestigious in Iran. The ''Pahlevan'' armband was formerly awarded by the Shah of Iran and is now presented by the president of Iran. Many ''Pahlevan'' have gone on to win medals in international competition.
