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

A statistical breakdown shows the leaders in combined Olympic, World Championship, and European Championship titles in freestyle wrestling. Buvaisar Saitiev leads with 15 total (3 Olympic, 6 World, 6 European), followed by Valentin Yordanov and Taha Akgul with 15 each. Abdulrashid Sadulaev currently sits fourth with 14 titles (2 Olympic, 6 World, 6 European including 2015 European Games). The post notes that since 2022, Sadulaev has missed one Olympics, two World Championships, and four European Championships due to visa issues, sanctions, and recommendations not to compete. Had he been able to participate in these seven events without restrictions, he could already be the all-time leader in total titles.
