The competitions came to an end in the Saudi capital on Sunday while the Iranian squad was one of the main chances of championship until the very last hours of the games.
Iran’s chances, however, faded as Sharifi was unbelievably knocked out of the tournament.
Mir-Mostafa Javadi (in 89kg weight category) bagged two gold medals for Iran in both snatch and clean and jerk categories.
Iran’s Ali Davoudi also received the bronze medal of the super heavyweight class in clean and jerk.
Two other Iranian representatives ranked fifth, with others ranking seventh, ninth, thirteenth and twenty-third. Two Iranian athletes were also knocked out of the tournament.
