Abdulrashid Sadulaev could lead all-time medal count without visa restrictions

Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently ranks fourth all-time with 14 combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship titles in freestyle wrestling (2 Olympic golds, 6 World titles, 6 European titles including Euro Games 2015). He trails leaders Buvaisar Saitiev (15 total), Valentin Yordanov (15), and Taha Akgul (15). Since 2022, Sadulaev has missed one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships due to visa issues, sanctions, and travel recommendations. The analysis suggests that without these restrictions, he could already be the all-time leader in total titles across these three major competitions.
