Wrestling-Snyder, Sadulaev to reignite 'greatest rivalry' at Tbilisi event

On July 7, American wrestler Kyle Snyder and Russian-born Azerbaijani wrestler Abdulrashid Sadulaev are set to face off for the first time in five years at a Real American Freestyle event in Tbilisi, Georgia. Their rivalry, considered one of the greatest in modern wrestling, includes four previous encounters, all for major titles like Olympic gold or World Championships. Sadulaev has won their last three meetings, including ending Snyder's 75-match winning streak in 2017. Despite their competitive history, the pair have developed a friendship, with Snyder visiting Sadulaev in Dagestan and offering him land to build a home. Snyder aims to settle the score in this match, believing the contest should be about heart and spirit rather than technique. Sadulaev, who faced eligibility issues due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine but was allowed to compete as an Individual Neutral Athlete, views the bout as preparation for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
