Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently sits fourth all-time in combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship freestyle wrestling titles with 14 gold medals (2 Olympics, 6 World Championships, 6 European Championships including the 2015 European Games). The leaders are Buvaisar Saitiev with 15 total (3+6+6), Valentin Jordanov with 15 (1+7+7), and Taha Akgul with 15 (1+3+11), while Aleksandr Medved ranks fifth with 13 (3+7+3). Since 2022, Sadulaev has missed one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships due to visa issues, sanctions, and recommendations not to travel. The analysis suggests that without these political obstacles, Sadulaev could already be first in all-time combined titles. The post also mentions Sadulaev recently won his first European Championship since 2020.
