Two-time Olympic wrestling champion Abdulrashid Sadulaev has won the European Championship for the first time since 2020. This marks a significant return to continental gold for the dominant Russian wrestler. Gold medals were also won by Akhmed Usmanov and David Baev at the same championship. The post notes the leaders in combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship titles in freestyle wrestling. Sadulaev currently ranks fourth on that all-time list with 14 total major titles. The post highlights that Sadulaev has missed one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships since 2022 due to visa issues and sanctions, which could have put him at the top of the all-time list.
