Abdulrashid Sadulaev could have been all-time leader in wrestling titles without sanctions

Analysis of all-time wrestling championship leaders shows Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently ranks fourth with 14 combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship titles (2 Olympic, 6 World, 6 European including 2015 European Games). He trails Buvaisar Saitiev (15 total), Valentin Jordanov (15), and Taha Akgül (15). Since 2022, Sadulaev has missed one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships due to visa issues, sanctions, and recommendations not to compete. The post suggests that without these restrictions, Sadulaev could already be the all-time leader in total wrestling titles. Sadulaev recently won his first European Championship since 2020.
