Sadulaev wins first European Championship since 2020, could lead all-time list

Two-time Olympic champion Abdulrashid Sadulaev won the European Championship for the first time since 2020, marking his return to continental competition in freestyle wrestling. Ahmed Usmanov and David Baev also captured gold medals at the tournament. The post includes statistical context noting that Sadulaev currently ranks fourth all-time with 14 combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship titles (2 Olympics, 6 Worlds, 6 Europeans including the 2015 European Games). Since 2022, Sadulaev has missed one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships due to visa issues, sanctions, and related complications. The analysis suggests that without these obstacles, Sadulaev could already be the all-time leader in total freestyle wrestling titles across major championships.
