Abdulrashid Sadulaev could have led all-time freestyle wrestling titles

Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently ranks fourth all-time in combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship titles in freestyle wrestling with 14 total (2 Olympic, 6 World, 6 European, including 2015 European Games). Since 2022, Sadulaev has missed one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships due to visa issues, sanctions, and recommendations not to travel. The analysis suggests that without these restrictions, Sadulaev could already be first in total titles rather than fourth. The current all-time leader is Buvaisar Saitiev with 15 titles (3 Olympic, 6 World, 6 European). Sadulaev recently won his first European Championship since 2020.
