Buvaisar Saitiev might be the greatest wrestler of all time. The Russian legend won three men’s freestyle Olympic gold medals (1996, 2004, 2008) and six World titles (1995, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2005).

Russia is and has been the most successful wrestling country on the planet in men's freestyle and it's not up for debate. Since 2005 there have been just two years that they did not win the team title at the FILA/UWW World Championships.
