World champion and double European champion in freestyle wrestling Magomed Kurbanaliev shared his memories of the defeat Abdulrashida Sadulayev at the 2023 World Championships.
On September 18 last year, at the World Championships in Belgrade, Sadulaev could not complete the semi-final in the weight category up to 97 kilograms due to cervical hernia and withdrew from the competition. On September 22, the athlete underwent surgery in Moscow.
— Before the World Championships in Belgrade, Abdulrashid did not train normally. A cervical hernia prevented him from training. As soon as I started struggling, my neck seized up. Now he has come to his senses and got into a routine. This is why we see the result. At the World Championships, Sadulaev was not allowed to fight at all. The doctors insisted that he withdraw. Abdulrashid is not afraid of losing.
Akhmed Tazhudinov is a very sensitive guy, he trains with Sadulayev. Before the Yaryginsky tournament, Tazhudinov wished Abdulrashid good luck. They have a very warm relationship. At the World Cup, Tank wasn’t even 20% fit. The illness did not allow him to fight at full strength. This loss had a positive effect on him. Remember the first defeat against Kyle Snyder, now the situation is the same,” Metaratings.ru quotes Kurbanaliev.
