Abdulrashid Sadulaev could lead all-time wrestling title count without visa issues

A statistical breakdown of the most decorated freestyle wrestlers by combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship golds shows Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently fourth with 14 total titles (2 Olympic, 6 World, 6 European including the 2015 European Games). He trails Buvaisar Saitiev and Valentin Jordanov (both 15) and Taha Akgül (15). 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 first in all-time combined titles.
