Career
Mahdi Sologhani first took part in two World Cup races in the Iranian ski resort of Dizin in July 2007 , each of which he finished in 19th place. In the next year he started in addition to the World Cup races in Dizin, in which he finished 13th and 16th this time, also at the Junior World Championships 2008 in Rieden, Switzerland . There his best result was 18th place in the slalom. In the 2009 season Sologhani only took part in the FIS and World Cup races in Dizin. In the World Cup races, a 16th place was again his best result, in the FIS races he came in tenth. In 2010, after a few FIS races in Dizin, he started again in a Junior World Championship , which was also held in Dizin. As the most successful participant of the host nation, Sologhani won the silver medal in the slalom and the bronze medal in the Super-G. He finished fifth in the super combined. Six weeks later, at the finals in Italy, he took part in World Cup races outside his home country for the first time. After three failures, he reached seventh place in the last race of the season, the slalom in Sestriere , and thus his best World Cup result so far.
In 2011 Sologhani first took part in the FIS races in Dizin, then in the FIS races in Wilhelmsburg, Austria, and finally in the World Championship and the 2011 Junior World Championship in Goldingen , Switzerland. In the juniors, after disqualifications in slalom and super-G, 18th place in giant slalom was his only result, in the general class he remained without a result after two disqualifications in giant slalom and in the super combination. At next year's Junior World Championships in Burbach in 2012 , Sologhani made it into the top 10 three times: He was fourth in the super combined, sixth in the giant slalom and eighth in the super G. Only in the slalom was he disqualified because of a goal error in the second round. After not taking part in any World Cup races last year, he started again in the 2012 season in a total of five World Cup races in Dizin and at the final in Rettenbach . He drove three times under the top ten and achieved eighth place as the best result in the first of Dizin's two Super-Gs. In the overall World Cup he was able to improve to 28th place.
In addition to grass skiing, Sologhani also competes in alpine skiing in winter . He took part in FIS races and national championships for the first time in 2008 and has so far achieved several top 10 results. In January 2011 he also took part in the Junior World Championships in Crans-Montana . He achieved 75th place out of 84 runners in the giant slalom, but was disqualified in the slalom in the first round. In 2012 Sologhani became Iranian champion in super-G.
