Athletistic / Olympic Games. Russian wrestler Akhmed Tazhudinov, who competes internationally for Bahrain, won a gold medal in the weight category up to 97 kg at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. After this triumph, he said that his success was greatly contributed to by the two-time Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling, Russian Abdulrashid Sadulayev.
“We would all be happy if Sadulayev came to Paris. Abdulrashid would have decorated these Olympic Games even more. We all believed until the last minute that he would be at the Games, and we really wanted him to come.
He is our older brother, Sadulayev helped me a lot. You could say that I grew up with him. That’s why I wanted him to perform in Paris.
Abdulrashid and I are now training partners. Before the start of the Olympics, he wrote to me, suggested the most important thing, motivated me. We were in touch with him all the time,” Tazhudinov was quoted as saying by Sport-Express.
Akhmed Tazhudinov defeated Georgian Givi Macharashvili in the final match of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris with a score of 2:0.
For the first time, Sadulayev became an Olympic champion at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), and five years later he repeated his success at the 2020 Olympic Games and in Tokyo. It is worth noting that the 27-year-old Russian has five gold medals at the World Championships.
