Abdulrashid Sadulaev could have led all-time freestyle wrestling titles without restrictions

A statistical analysis shows Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently ranks fourth all-time with 14 combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship titles in freestyle wrestling. The breakdown includes two Olympic golds, six World Championships, and six European titles. 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 restrictions, he could already be first in the all-time rankings. Currently, Buvaisar Saitiev leads with 15 total titles, followed by Valentin Jordanov and Taha Akgul also with 15 each.
