Sadulaev could lead all-time wrestling titles if not for visa issues and sanctions

Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently ranks fourth all-time in combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship titles in freestyle wrestling with 14 total victories. The leaders are Buvaisar Saitiev with 15, Valentin Yordanov with 15, and Taha Akgul with 15, while Sadulaev trails with 14 titles including two Olympic golds, six World Championships, and six European Championships. However, since 2022 Sadulaev has missed one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships due to visa problems, sanctions, and travel recommendations. The analysis suggests that without these restrictions, Sadulaev could already be the all-time leader in total titles. The post notes that Sadulaev recently won his first European Championship since 2020.
