RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — American Jordan Burroughs' stunning loss in Friday's Olympic wrestling tournament re-opened the debate over the world's best pound-for-pound freestyle competitor.
"The Russian Tank" just might be next in line.
Abdulrashid Sadulaev is 20 years old and a two-time world champion. He captured his first Olympic title Saturday at the Rio Games.
Sadulaev rolled past Turkey's Selim Yasar 5-0 for his third consecutive world title and his third gold at the Rio Games.
Sadulaev was as dominant as any wrestler had been in Rio yet, outscoring his opponents 28-1 in clinching his fifth straight world championship dating to his days in junior competitions.
