Abdulrashid Sadulaev could have led all-time wrestling titles without visa issues

A statistical analysis shows the leaders in combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship freestyle wrestling titles. Buvaisar Saitiev leads with 15 total titles, followed by Valentin Yordanov and Taha Akgul, also with 15. Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently has 14 titles including two Olympic golds. Since 2022, Sadulaev has missed one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships due to visa problems, sanctions, and travel recommendations. The analysis suggests that without these restrictions, Sadulaev could have already become the all-time leader in total wrestling titles.
