Faramarz Khodnegah

Gymnastics and Strength Sports

Faramarz Khodnegah is an Iranian former strongman and powerlifter, born in 1965. He began as a weightlifter but had to leave that sport because of an injury, and later competed in strongman and powerlifting. He is now the official referee of Iran's Strongest Man competition and has held that role since its first edition. His refereeing has been disputed: the former Iran's Strongest Man champion Mehrab Fatemi, his older brother Mehdi Fatemi, Ali Esmaeili and Mojtaba Maleki have claimed that he did not referee fairly and neutrally in recent contests, accusations aimed at helping Rouhollah Dadashi win, which Khodnegah himself denied.
