Two-time Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling Abdulrashid Sadulaev won the European Championship for the first time since 2020. This marks a significant achievement for the Russian wrestler, who has been unable to compete in several major international competitions since 2022 due to visa issues, sanctions, and recommendations not to travel. Also winning gold medals at the championship were Akhmed Usmanov and David Baev. The victory represents Sadulaev's return to European championship success after a six-year gap.
