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

Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently ranks fourth all-time with 14 combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship titles in freestyle wrestling. Analysis shows that if not for visa problems, sanctions, and travel restrictions since 2022, he could have already claimed the all-time record. Since 2022, Sadulaev has missed one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships due to these external factors. The current all-time leaders are Buvaisar Saitiev and Valentin Jordanov (both with 15 titles), and Taha Akgul (also 15 titles). Sadulaev's current tally of 2 Olympic golds, 6 World Championships, and 6 European Championships demonstrates his dominance when able to compete.
