A breakdown of all-time leaders in combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship titles in freestyle wrestling shows Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently fourth with 14 titles (2 Olympics, 6 Worlds, 6 Europeans including 2015 European Games). The analysis notes Sadulaev has missed significant competitions since 2022 due to visa issues, sanctions, and recommendations not to travel, including one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships. If he had been able to compete in these events, he could potentially already be the all-time leader. The current leaders are Buvaysar Saytiev (15), Valentin Yordanov (15), and Taha Akgul (15). Sadulaev was recently photographed with Zagalav Abdulbekov, Dagestan's first Olympic wrestling champion.
