    A two-time world champion from 2011-2012 at the 84 KG weight class, #12 Sharif Sharifov (AZE) was forced on the sidelines for the majority of 2012-2016 behind three-time Olympic medalist Khetag Gozyumov before dropping from 97 KG to take bronze at the 2016 86 KG Olympics. 2018 saw Sharifov debut at his third weight class in 92 KG and go in as a favorite to win gold in Budapest, only to be upset by #9 Alireza Karimimachiani (IRI) and be sent back to the drawing board. But a spectacular run through the World Championships as a replacement for Nurmagomed Gadzhiev (AZE), resulted in a resurgence in Sharifov's career with a World silver medal and his return as a title contender going into his third Olympics. Today's Olympic profile will cover the career of 2019 97 KG World runner-up #12 Sharif Sharifov (AZE).

    2009-2012

    Sharifov, of Avar descent and claiming Gunukh, Dagestan as his place of origin, began his career competing for Russia at the 2009 Junior European Championships, where he took 12th at the 84 KG weight class.

    A transfer to Azerbaijan, in 2008, would see Sharifov take bronze at his sole competition of the year at the Baku Golden Grand Prix behind two-time world bronze medalist Reza Yazdani of Iran. Marking his return to competition a year later at the same Baku Golden Grand Prix, Sharifov would again take bronze, losing to that year's world champion Zaurbek Sokhiev of Uzbekistan. The 2009 World Championships would be a breakthrough for the young Sharifov, as after a loss to eventual world runner-up Jake Herbert of the United States, Sharifov put together wins over David Bichinashvili (GER) and Gokhan Yavaser (TUR) to face off against 2008 Junior World Champion Abdusalam Gadisov (RUS). Gadisov was the upperweight prospect at the start of the 2008-2012 quad, blazing through the field at Junior Worlds and Senior Russian Nationals and through to the Senior World semifinals before falling to Jake Herbert (USA). Sharifov was able to extinguish the fiery run of Gadisov over two periods for a 3-0 win and his first world bronze medal.

    2010 began with Sharifov making the finals of the European championships with a win over Gheorghita Stefan (ROU) in the semifinals. Facing him in the finals would be 2009 Russian Nationals bronze medalist #5 (92) Anzor Urishev (RUS), who'd upset 2010 world champion Mihail Ganev (BUL) in the semifinals. Urishev was crisp throughout the match, able to match the physicality of Sharifov with smooth reattacks and low-level attacks to take home European gold and relegate the world bronze medalist Sharifov to the silver medal.

    Taking bronze at the Baku Golden Grand Prix on July 16th, Sharifov would compete only four days later in an Azerbaijan vs. USA dual meet against Jake Herbert (USA), losing to the American 1-1, and 1-0 across two periods. Naurez Temrezov would be sent to the World Championships instead of Sharifov on account of winning the Baku Golden Grand Prix, where Sharifov took bronze. Temrezov made it to the quarterfinals of the World Championships, where he lost across three periods 5-3 to eventual world bronze medalist #15 (92) Soslan Ktsoev (RUS).

    2011 began with a bronze medal performance for Urishev at the European Championships and although it was a lesser finish than his silver medal from 2010, he was able to improve his standing internationally with the wins he took. Beating 2009 world bronze medalist Ibragim Aldatov (UKR) in the second round, Sharifov followed it up with a win over 2000 69 KG European champion Emzarios Bentinidis (GRE) to make the semifinals against returning champion #5 (92) Anzor Urishev (RUS). Urishev defeated Sharifov 4-0 across two periods and Sharifov would conclude his European Championship run with 5-1 victory over Maciej Balewender of Poland.

    The Ali Aliev was next on the ledger for Sharifov and taking gold over 2009 Yarygin bronze medalist #18 Magomed Ibragimov (UZB) proved to be the shot in the arm for the Azeri. Sharifov maintained the momentum from his Ali Aliev title to take gold at the Baku Golden Grand Prix after three straight bronze medal finishes from 2008-2010. Sharifov beat 2010 world champion Mihail Ganev (BUL), Piotr Ianulov (MDA), lachiko Gitiashvili (GEO) and Serdar Boke (TUR) to take his final title of the year before the World Championships.

    Sharifov's first world championship title would come through an absolute ironman run across six matches. Beginning with an 8-0 win over Chan-Urk Yoon (KOR), Sharifov had the tall task of 2004 Olympic champion and 4x NCAA champion Cael Sanderson (USA) in his second-round match. Sanderson, who'd made his return after seven years in retirement, beat out longtime Sharifov rival Jake Herbert to make the US team and was in serious contention for world gold upon his return. Sharifov had jumped levels and it showed with a 7-2 win over the Olympic champion to move onto the round of 32. Ernek Baiduashev (KAZ) and Ziolkowski champion Alireza Goudarzi (IRI) would be smooth wins for Sharifov to make the semifinals opposite Albert Saritov (RUS).

    Beating out returning world bronze medalist #15 (92) Soslan Ktsoev (RUS) and 2x European champion #5 (92) Anzor Urishev (RUS), the Chechen contender, was seen as one of Sharifov's biggest tests of the world championships. In a back and forth match, it would be the more experienced Sharifov that would pull away with a 7-4 win over the Chechen standout to make the finals opposite Ibragim Aldatov (UKR). A 2006 world champion at 74 KG and world bronze at 84 KG in 2009, Aldatov had been one of the trailblazers of the middleweights from 2004-2016, well regarded for his impressive skill, especially his swim high crotch and lethal leg lace that could end a match at any moment. Against the Ukrainian legend, Sharifov secured his first world title with a 3-0 win across two periods and cemented himself as the favorite going into the 2012 Olympics.

    Sharifov concluded his landmark 2011 season with a title at the FILA test tournament over 2010 world bronze medalist, 2011 national runner-up #15 (92) Soslan Ktsoev of Russia. Sharifov made his 2012 debut all the way up at 96 KG, where he lost to teammate 2010 world champion Khetag Gozyumov of Azerbaijan in the finals of the Yasar Dogu. Sharifov's return to 84 KG would take place at the World Cup, where he finished in first place with wins over #10 (92) Amarhadzhi Magomedov (BLR), 2x World/Olympic medalist Ehsan Lashgari (IRI), Semyon Semenov (KAZ) and #18 Magomed Ibragimov (UZB).

    The Olympics had come and Sharifov was the man to beat. Sharifov was fantastic throughout his run, opening with an 8-4 win over Ibragim Bolukbasi (TUR) before putting on a clinic to avenge his past losses to Jake Herbert (USA) with a 10-1 victory. Facing Ehsan Lashgari (IRI), who'd come through the semifinals, by way of upset over 2x European champion #5 (92) Anzor Urishev (RUS), Sharifov was able to survive a 3-3 match against the Iranian powerhouse and move onto the Olympic finals. Facing Sharifov in the finals would be Jaime Espinal of Puerto Rico, who'd notched the biggest upset of the weight by defeating 2011 world bronze medalist Dato Marsagishvili of Georgia 13-5 across two periods in the quarterfinals. Sharifov would shut down the big moves of Espinal and take a convincing 8-1 victory and Olympic gold. Sharifov had proven himself to be the best man and it showed with back-to-back titles, but his return to gold would be a long road ahead.


    2013-2016

    The 2012-2016 quad saw Sharifov make the move up to the 96 KG weight class after he had outgrown the 84 KG weight class and the weight cut had proven to be too drastic. Returning to competition in the middle of 2013, Sharifov would take bronze at the Grand Prix of Spain behind 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Khetag Gozyumov (AZE). A runner-up finish at the Baku Golden Grand Prix for Sharifov would conclude his 2013 with a loss to world runner-up Khetag Gozyumov (AZE) in the finals.

    2014 for Sharifov began with a title at the Dan Kolov over 2017 European champion Riza Yildirim (TUR) that was followed up by a runner-up finish to 2011 Russian Nationals runner-up Yuri Belonovski (RUS). 2015 saw Sharifov began to matriculate more at 97 KG as he started the year with a title at the Grand Prix of Paris over returning 84 KG world bronze medalist #3 Mohammad Mohammadian of Iran. The Medved would follow a similar script for Sharifov, as he'd finish runner-up behind returning world silver medalist Khetag Gozyumov (AZE) to take the number two spot for Azerbaijan. Proving himself still dangerous, Sharifov put together a fantastic performance at the World Cup with wins over Reza Yazdani (IRI), Yuri Belonovski (RUS), Ivan Yankouski (BLR), and Ibrahim Bolukbasi (TUR). Sharifov's international competition for 2015 would conclude at the Baku Golden Grand Prix, where he'd finish as runner-up behind European Games runner-up #7 Elizbar Odikadze (GEO). Making the cut down to 86 KG for Azerbaijani nationals, Sharifov took the title over 86 KG Baku GGP champion Nurmagomed Gadzhiev (AZE).

    To begin 2016, Sharifov returned back to 97 KG, where he finished in 16th place at the Yasar Dogu after an opening-round loss to Fatih Cakiroglu (TUR). Sharifov concluded his 97 KG run for the year before the Olympics with a 17th place finish at the European Championships after forfeiting out due to injury in the first round. Returning back to 86 KG ahead of the Olympics, forfeited in the finals of the Grand Prix of Germany to Nurmagomed Gadzhiev (AZE) after beating two-time 92 KG world champion #12 (92) J'den Cox (USA).

    Sharifov's Olympic run began with a tech fall win over Shengfeng Bi (CHN), followed up by a quarterfinal win over #8 (92) Zbigniew Baranowski (POL) to make the semifinals opposite two-time world champion #1 Abdulrashid Sadulaev of Russia. Sadulaev had been the revelation of the 2012-2016, an absolutely dominant wrecking machine that had carved through the 86 KG weight class, outscoring the field at the 2015 World Championships, 47-2. As the returning Olympic champion, it was expected that Sharifov could slow the terrifying run of Sadulaev and provide some relief to the rest of the field, but Sadulaev took apart Sharifov for an 8-1 win and a spot in the finals. In the bronze medal match against Pedro Ceballos Fuentes of Venezuela, Sharifov won a workman-like 5-1 victory for Olympic bronze. Concluding his year, Sharifov won his second Azerbaijani national title over Nurmagomed Gadzhiev (AZE).


    2017-2021

    2017 would be Sharifov's final year at 86 KG as the weight cut would prove to be far too drastic for him to wrestle up to the championship-caliber he had proven before. Beginning the year at the World Cup, Sharifov would put together a lackluster 1-3 record with losses to #1 (86) David Taylor (USA), #9 (86) Vladislav Valiev (RUS) and Davit Khutsishvili (GEO) to a sole win over 3x World/Olympic medalist #6 Selim Yasar (TUR). The Islamic Solidarity Games didn't fare much better for Sharifov, as while he did net a bronze medal, he was absolutely manhandled in a tech fall loss to 74 KG Olympic champion #2 (86) Hassan Yazdani Charati of Iran. Sharifov's year would conclude at his more natural weight class of 97 KG, where he'd make the finals of the prestigious Alans tournament against #4 Vladislav Baitsaev (RUS). In the finals, the size and power of Baitsaev would be too much for Sharifov and he would fall 1-1 to the North Ossetian Russian Nationals runner-up.

    2018 saw the debut of the non-Olympic weight class categories of 79 and 92 KG that would provide more opportunities for those athletes who had been stuck between 74 and 86 KG and 86 and 97 who were too outsized or too sucked out from cutting too much weight. There would be a trio of 86 and 97 KG athletes that would make the move to 92 KG, Sharifov being one of them along with 3x World/Olympic champion #1 Abdulrashid Sadulaev (RUS) after finishing silver at the 97 KG world championships and 2x 86 KG World/Olympic medalist #14 (92) J'den Cox (USA). These three were the biggest names in the emerging weight class and along with the likes of #3 (92) Javad Ebrahimi (IRI), #4 Batyrbek Tsakulov (RUS), Dato Marsagishvili (GEO), and #9 Alireza Karimimachiani (IRI) would go on to define it in its inaugural year.

    Sharifov's debut at the 92 KG weight class would be in impressive fashion, taking gold at the International Ukrainian Tournament with victories over elite competitors the likes of two time World/Olympic medalist Dato Marsagishvili (GEO), 2019 world bronze medalist #14 Irakli Mtsituri (GEO), and two time World/Olympic bronze medalist #14 J'den Cox (USA).

    Tech falls over Nicolae Ceban (MDA) and Serdar Boke (TUR) secured Sharifov a spot in the European finals opposite the Russian Tank #1 Abdulrashid Sadulaev (RUS), who'd just come off a dominating showing at the Yarygin where he took gold over #5 (92) Anzor Urishev (RUS). Sharifov, not depleted as he was at 86 KG, in their first meeting at the 2016 Olympics, was able to hold off the dominant Sadulaev in a 2-1 loss for silver at the European Championships. After an upset loss in the opening round of the Yasar Dogu to returning 97 KG world bronze medalist Aslanbek Alborov (AZE), Sharifov set his sights for his final competition before the World Championships; Sharifov would compete at the Medved where he'd face Russian Nationals bronze medalist #5 Alikhan Zhabrailov (RUS). Against the dangerous Zhabrailov, Sharifov was able to take away a 6-4 win from the 2017 86 KG U-23 world champion for gold.

    Expected to be the favorite to win gold at the World championships with #1 Abdulrashid Sadulaev's return to 97 KG, Sharifov faced off against 97 KG Asian Games champion #9 Alireza Karimimachiani of Iran. Karimi, an absolute bull of a wrestler who'd broken the best of the best, proved that he was too much for Sharifov and upset the Azeri in a dominant 7-0 win. There was no shame in losing to Karimi as the Iranian was on another level at the World Championships, only losing to eventual champion J'den Cox 5-2 in the semis and beating Sharifov, 2x World/Olympic medalist Dato Marsagishvili (GEO) and 2019 U-23 world runner-up #4 (92) Batyrbek Tsakulov by a combined score of 33-2.

    Sharifov competed twice to end 2018, first at the Kadyrov Cup, where he was able to again defeat #4 Alikhan Zhabrailov (RUS), this time by tech fall and competing at the Alans after a runner-up finish at 97 KG the year prior. Opening up with a 7-3 against two time World/Olympic bronze medalist Marsagishvili, Sharifov continued on to the semifinals, where he'd meet Russian Nationals runner-up #5 (92) Anzor Urishev (RUS) for their rubber match and a chance at revenge from losses at the 2010 and 2011 84 KG European championships. Urishev proved once again that he was too much of a problem for Sharifov to handle and handed the talented Azeri a 5-1 loss and Sharifov would finish his run at the Alans with a bronze medal over Akhmed Bataev (BUL).

    2019 would begin with a bronze medal finish at the Takhti Cup, where Sharifov fell to #3 (92) Javad Ebrahimi of Iran but was able to muster a win over #6 Suleyman Karadeniz (TUR) in his opening round match. The European Championships would be a much more successful campaign for Sharifov, winning his first European title with victories over #1 (92) Magomed Kurbanov (RUS), Ibrahim Bolukbasi (TUR) and #7 (92) Zbigniew Baranowski (POL).

    Going into the World Championships, Sharifov was not supposed to be the 97 KG rep. Sharifov was entered as the 92 KG rep and had been 92 since 2018 and really punched through a spot for himself as a world title contender and Nurmagomed Gadzhiev (AZE) was the rep who was expected to medal and qualify Azerbaijan for the Tokyo Olympics. Except Gadzhiev was out with a knee injury and Sharifov would have to make the last second move-up while 2018 U-23 world champion Shamil Zubairov took the 92 KG spot.

    Sharifov's last-second move-up would be one of the best decisions of his career. Competing against a group of massive 97's, Sharifov opened with an 11-4 victory over Minwon Seo (KOR) before facing 2012 Olympic runner-up Valerii Andriitsev of Ukraine, who fell to the Azerbaijani 4-0. Now in the quarterfinals, Sharifov faced off against returning world bronze medalist #7 Elizbar Odikadze (GEO) and put up another strong 6-0 win to make the semifinals. 3x World/Olympic champion #3 Kyle Snyder (USA) was the returning world runner-up at the weight and the only man to hand 4x World/Olympic champion #1 Abdulrashid Sadulaev (RUS) a loss in over four years. Snyder was supposedly too big and too strong, except he wasn't as fast as Sharifov, who was able to score off a crucial high crotch reattack to take a 5-2 win and his first World/Olympic finals appearance since 2012. In the finals, a controlled Sadulaev would put away Sharifov for a 4-0 victory and World/Olympic title number five.

    Sharifov's 2019 conclusion to 2019 would be at the Alrosa Cup and the German Pro League. At the Alrosa Cup, Sharifov put together a 1-1 showing competing against truly elite competition in #2 Mohammad Mohammadian (IRI) and #5 Alikhan Zhabrailov (RUS). Mohammadian would be a controversial 4-3 win while 92 KG world bronze medalist #5 Alikhan Zhabrailov (RUS) had made significant headway and avenged his past two losses to Sharifov with a 5-2 win. 2018 world bronze medalist Odikadze would avenge his quarterfinal loss from the world championships to Sharifov with a 5-2 win in the German Pro League and Sharifov would conclude his 2019 with a 14-0 win over Bekkan Nusulkhanov (KAZ).

    After not competing in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sharifov made his return to competition at the start of 2021, placing fourth at the Henri Deglane Grand Prix after a loss to 2018 U-23 world champion #13 Givi Matcharashvili (GEO). Another opening round loss would see Sharifov fail to place at his next tournament, this time in the form of 2018 world bronze medalist #11 Abraham Conyedo Ruano (ITA) at the Ziolkowski. Returning to form, Sharifov concluded his 2021 competition schedule before the Olympics with a title at the Yasar Dogu by avenging his loss to #13 Givi Matcharashvili (GEO) in the semifinals and beating Mustafa Sessiz (TUR) for gold.

    Though he began 2021 with a series of losses, #12 Sharif Sharifov should absolutely be considered as finalist material in Tokyo. Wins over #2 Mohammad Mohammadian (IRI) and #3 Kyle Snyder (USA) in 2019 showed that the Azeri veteran is still very much a live wire in the field. Will Sharifov be able to win Olympic title number two on his third try or will the reign of Sadulaev continue? Can #2 Mohammad Mohammadian (IRI) come through on his immense talent and breakthrough for gold? Will #3 Kyle Snyder (USA) regain the form he had from 2015-2017 and take World/Olympic title number four? How does #6 Suleyman Karadeniz (TUR) fare against the fearsome field? These are all fascinating questions that will be answered when the first whistle blows for the 97 KG Olympics.
