Akhmed Magomedovich Tazhudinov (Russian: Ахмед Магомедович Тажудинов; born 25 January 2003) is a Russian-born Bahraini freestyle wrestler who competes at 97 kilograms.[1] Representing Bahrain, Tazhudinov became the World Champion and Asian Champion in 2023, and is a multiple-time gold medalist in international tournaments.[2][3] He won the gold medal in the men's 97 kg event at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.[4]

Career

[edit]

Akhmed Tazhudinov won one of the bronze medals in the 97 kg category at the 2022 Russian Wrestling Championships. He has been competing for Bahrain since autumn 2022 and made his debut at the Dinmuhamed Kunayev Memorial International Tournament in Taraz, Kazakhstan, in early November 2022, where he won the tournament.[5] A few days later, as part of the Bahrain team in Egypt, he won the Arab Championships.[6]

On 13 April 2023 in Astana, he participated in the 2023 Asian Wrestling Championships and defeated China's Habila Awusayiman in the final to become the Asian champion.[7] On 19 September 2023, he pinned Magomedkhan Magomedov in the finals of the 2023 World Wrestling Championships to win his first Senior World gold medal.[8] In earlier rounds on the way to the title, he defeated Kyle Snyder and Abdulrashid Sadulaev, who between them had won every world or Olympic title at 97 kg dating back to the 2015 World Wrestling Championships.

In his bout with Kyle Snyder, Akhmed Tazhudinov showed phenomenal wrestling and defeated him 10-0. Sadulaev was unable to continue the fight due to a neck injury and withdrew from the tournament.[9]

A year later, Tazhudinov won the gold medal in the men's 97 kg event at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.[4] Following the competition, he underwent surgery to repair a separated AC joint in his right shoulder, which he had sustained at a training camp in Belarus a few weeks prior.
