An analysis of all-time freestyle wrestling medal counts shows that Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently sits fourth with 14 total medals from Olympics, World Championships, and European Championships (2 Olympic golds, 6 World Championship golds, 6 European Championship golds including the 2015 European Games). The top three are Buvaisar Saitiev with 15, Valentin Jordanov with 15, and Taha Akgül with 15. 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 post suggests that without these restrictions, Sadulaev could already be the all-time leader in total titles. He recently won his first European Championship since 2020. Ahmed Usmanov and David Baev also won gold medals at the same competition.
