Abdulrashid Sadulaev wins European Championship for first time since 2020

Two-time Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling Abdulrashid Sadulaev won the European Championship for the first time since 2020. This marks a significant return to European championship form for the dominant Russian wrestler. Also capturing gold medals at the tournament were Akhmed Usmanov and David Baev. The victory is notable given Sadulaev's extended absence from major international competitions due to various restrictions and recommendations affecting Russian athletes since 2022.
