Abdulrashid Sadulaev wins first European Championship since 2020

Two-time Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling Abdulrashid Sadulaev captured his first European Championship title since 2020. The post notes that Sadulaev has missed numerous major competitions since 2022, including one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships due to visa issues, sanctions, and recommendations not to travel. Fellow Russian wrestlers Akhmed Usmanov and David Baev also won gold medals at the European Championship. The analysis suggests that without these travel restrictions, Sadulaev could already be the all-time leader in combined Olympic, World, and European Championship titles in freestyle wrestling. Currently, he ranks fourth all-time with 14 total major titles (2 Olympics, 6 Worlds, 6 Europeans including 2015 European Games).
