Two-time Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling Abdulrashid Sadulaev won the European Championship for the first time since 2020. This victory came after Sadulaev missed multiple major competitions from 2022 onward due to visa issues, sanctions, and travel restrictions, including one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships. Fellow Russian wrestlers Akhmed Usmanov and David Baev also won gold medals at the tournament. The post notes that without these restrictions, Sadulaev could already be the all-time leader in combined Olympic, World, and European championship titles in freestyle wrestling.
