    An age group prospect who turned the corner into a legend at the end of the 2016-2020 quad, #1 Zaurbek Sidakov of Russia has become a history maker for Russia at 74 KG. Coming into his own during a renaissance for the deepest weight in wrestling, Sidakov has ascended to the top of the pound-for-pound standings with back-to-back world titles beating divisional elites the likes of 5x World/Olympic champion #8 Jordan Burroughs (USA) and 2x World champion #5 Frank Chamizo (ITA) to take his crown. With a huge matchup against two-time 79 KG world champion #2 Kyle Dake (USA) looming at the Tokyo Olympics, today our Olympic profile will cover the career of two-time 74 KG world champion #1 Zaurbek Sidakov of Russia.

    2014-2017

    Beginning his career at the 65 KG weight class, #1 Zaurbek Sidakov would turn heads with a win in the finals over 2013 Cadet world champion and U.S. phenom Aaron Pico in the finals of the Yuri Gusov tournament in early 2014. Pico would go onto to take bronze at the 66 KG Junior World Championships behind future 3x World/Olympic champion #2 (86) Hassan Yazdani Charati (IRI), while Sidakov finished his successful 2014 campaign with a Copa Brasil title over 2014 Senior national runner-up Shikhsaid Jalilov of Russia.

    2015 began with Sidakov's debut at the legendary Ivan Yarygin Grand Prix, Russia's unofficial “Russian Nationals before Russian Nationals,” where the brackets are boasted to be deeper than that of the World and Olympic championships. Along with sheer depth, there is another important function of the Yarygin in that the highest Russian medalist will be sent as the European Championship representative with the runner-up or second-highest medalist then being sent as the representative for the World Cup.
    Competing in the Senior's division while only 19 years old, Sidakov would make the quarterfinals against 2013 Yarygin runner-up Brent Metcalf of the United States and fall 9-1 to the American standout. With Metcalf making the finals with a victory over 2013 Russian Nationals bronze medalist Alibegghadzi Emeev (RUS) in the semifinals, Sidakov qualified for the bronze medal match. In the bronze medal match, Sidakov would beat Emeev 3-2 for bronze. Sidakov was selected to represent Russia at the World Cup, while champion #11 (65) Ilyas Bekbulatov (UZB) was chosen to compete at the European Games and fellow bronze medalist #2 (70) Evgheni Zherbaev (RUS) represented Russia at the inaugural U23 European championships.

    Coming off his bronze medal finish at the Yarygin, the World cup debut of Sidakov was highly anticipated. But in a field as deep as the World Cup and as young as Sidakov was, there was to be growing pains. Going 0-3, Sidakov dropped matches to two world bronze medalists Mandakhnaran Ganzorig (MGL), 2018 70 KG world bronze medalist Franklin Maren Castillo (CUB) and Magomed Muslimov (AZE). Coming off the rough showing at the World Cup, Sidakov entered his first Senior Russian Nationals tournament and drew returning 2014 European champion #16 Magomed Kurbanaliev (RUS) in the first round of action. Kurbanaliev would walk away the winner and Sidakov was eliminated after Kurbanaliev's loss to eventual champion Bekbulatov. Competing only nine days later at the Olympia tournament at 70 KG in Greece, Sidakov came away with gold over 2014 65 KG world bronze medalist Mihail Sava of Moldova.

    Competing at his final Senior-level event before his debut at the Junior World Championships, Sidakov would draw old rival Kurbanaliev in the opening round of the Ali Aliev. The veteran Kurbanaliev was still too much for Sidakov and the North Ossetian standout was eliminated after Kurbanaliev's loss to eventual runner-up Emeev, a wrestler who'd Sidakov beaten earlier in the year at the Yarygin.

    As the favorite to win gold at the Junior World Championships, after impressive wins over Russian Nationals medalists Emeev (RUS) and Shikhsaid Jalilov (RUS), along with beating returning runner-up Aaron Pico (USA) in 2014, Sidakov would make the semifinal against 2013 63 KG Cadet World runner-up Yuji Fujinami of Japan. Sidakov, length with a powerful slideby and impressive swim high crotch, was overpowered by the powerful leg attacks and finishes of his Japanese opponent and while he mounted a comeback late, he'd fall 5-4 to Fujinami, who'd go on to take silver to Teymur Mammadov (AZE). Rebounding from his semifinal loss to Fujinami, Sidakov would take bronze at the Junior World Championships with a 9-4 win over #7 Avtandil Kentchadze (GEO).

    2016 began for Sidakov with a move up to 70 KG, where he'd debut at the Ivan Yarygin Memorial. Beginning his tournament with a win over Alibek Akbaev (RUS), Sidakov notched the biggest win of his career in the quarterfinals over three-time Russian Nationals bronze medalist Kamal Malikov (RUS) to move onto the semifinals, where he'd take on 2013 74 KG Russian Nationals bronze medalist #9 (79) Atsamaz Sanakoev (RUS). Sidakov, proving himself ever capable of wrestling up to and past the levels of his elders, beat out credentialed Sanakoev 1-1 to move onto the finals to take on Khusey Suyunchev (RUS). Upsetting two-time Russian Nationals runner-up #1 (70) Israil Kasumov (RUS) to make the finals of the Kadyrov Cup in 2015, Suyunchev led Sidakov throughout most of their finals match, but a late takedown in the second period would seal the 2-2 criteria win and the chance to represent Russia at the European Championships.

    In his opening match at the European championships, Sidakov took on 2010 Russian Nationals bronze medalist, 2010 European runner-up #18 (65) Magomedmurad Gadzhiev of Poland. Gadzhiev, who'd announced himself as a world title contender upon his move to 70 KG in 2015, was one of the favorites in a loaded 65 KG field at the Tokyo Olympics. Against the heavily credentialed Gadzhiev, Sidakov fell behind 4-4 and lost. Offered a chance at repechage with Gadzhiev making the finals, Sidakov would put together wins over Muhammad Ilkhan (TUR) and 2013 65 KG world champion Devid Safaryan (ARM) to make the bronze medal match opposite two-time world fifth-place finisher #9 (70) Azamat Nurikov (BLR). Nurikov, a dangerous upper body wrestler who capitalizes on the mistakes of his opponents, was able to pull away with a 9-7 win for the bronze medal and leave Sidakov in 5th place at his first Senior European championships.

    Coming off his Yarygin title and showing himself capable of hanging with the best of the world at 70 KG at the European Championships, Sidakov entered the Senior Russian Nationals championships. Outscoring his competition 31-5 on his to the finals that included a win over returning Russian Nationals bronze medalist #2 (70) Evgheni Zherbaev (RUS), Zherbaev faced off against 2014 69 KG Cadet world runner-up #5 (79) Radik Valiev (RUS). In a battle between the two evenly matched age group standouts, it would be Sidakov who'd pull away for the 4-2 win and his first Senior Russian Nationals title.

    Finishing 2016, competing up at 74 KG for the Junior European championships, Sidakov was dominant on his path to the finals with a 33-2 scoring difference between him and the rest of the competition. The man standing opposite Sidakov would be the powerful Murad Suleymanov of Azerbaijan. Suleymanov is an absolute bear of a wrestler, as physical as they come and one of the best leg attack finishers in the middleweights but who failed to fulfill his potential off bad match I.Q. and poor conditioning. The smaller Sidakov saw his size disadvantage used against him by the hulking Suleymanov, who peppered Sidakov with leg attacks for the 9-4 win securing Junior European gold.

    After an early finish to 2016, taking silver at the 74 KG Junior European Championships in May, Sidakov returned after his six-month layoff, looking to claim his second 70 KG Yarygin title to start off 2017. Sidakov's tournament began with a 5-0 victory over 2009 66 KG world runner-up Rasul Dzhukaev (RUS) that was followed by a win over Timur Nikolaev (RUS) in the Round of 16 that secured him a spot in the quarterfinals opposite 2013 69 KG Cadet world bronze medalist #9 Timur Bizhoev (RUS). Bizhoev, as stingy and heavy-handed of a wrestler as they came, pushed the returning champion Sidakov but fell to the North Ossetian in a close 3-1 loss. The close win over Bizhoev set up a wild semifinal match against #3 Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov (BLR), who'd just upset 2016 74 KG Russian Nationals bronze medalist Khusey Suyunchev (RUS) 5-3 in the quarterfinals. Sidakov and Kadimagomedov went to war in the semifinals with Sidakov taking the 2-0 lead to end the first, but Kadimagomedov came roaring back to score 7 points and Sidakov returning the favor to pull away with a 9-7 win and stave off the upset-minded Kadimagomedov. The finals saw Sidakov taking on the fearsome #1 (70) Israil Kasumov (RUS), the returning three-time national runner-up. In what would be the critical point of the match, the athletic specimen Kasumov would high leg over a takedown attempt from Sidakov for exposure and take a 5-2 win over the North Ossetian for gold.

    Following the finals loss to Kasumov, Sidakov was selected as the representative for the U23 European Championships. A dominant Sidakov crushed his competition 35-5 on his path to the finals, where he'd meet returning U23 European runner-up Gadjimurad Omarov (AZE). Omarov, taking away the impressive offense of talented North Ossetian, would neutralize Sidakov for a 1-1 win and U23 European gold.

    After runner-up finishes at the Yarygin and U23 European championships, Sidakov was determined to break through for gold at the Senior Russian Nationals. Wins over Zherbaev, Nikolaev, and Shamil Magomedov (RUS) put Sidakov in the finals opposite #3 Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov (BLR). In what would be one of the craziest sequences of the entire Russian Nationals championships, Sidakov shot in on a swim-high crotch and Kadimagomedov deftly countered and clamped in like a boa constrictor on a crushing head pinch that exposed Sidakov and was awarded exposure and a critical match lead. The North-Ossetian corner exploded in protest and like adding kerosene to the fire, the crowd joined into the rioting and it was not until after 15 minutes of chaos that Sidakov and Kadimagomedov's match presumed with Kadimagomedov in the lead over the returning national champion Sidakov. A charging Sidakov would try his best, but he could not unseat the surging Kadimagomedov, who walked away with a 4-2 upset win over the returning national champion. With a 3-1 win over 2015 Russian Nationals bronze medalist Rasul Dzhukaev (RUS), who'd upset three-time returning national runner-up #1 (70) Israil Kasumov (RUS), Kadimagomedov made the Russian Nationals finals and Sidakov was pulled into the bronze medal match opposite Dzhukaev. Holding a 1-1 lead over Dzhukaev with short time leading in the second, a high crotch reattack from the Chechen veteran would spell doom for Sidakov in a 3-1 loss and have him finish in 5th place at Russian Nationals.

    Coming off the disappointment of Russian Nationals, Sidakov would be a very busy man to end 2017. First came a title at the Stepan Sargsyan title over Konstantine Khabalashvili of Georgia and next a runner-up finish at the Ugra Cup to #1 (70) Israil Kasumov (RUS). Finishing the year at the Alans in Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia, on his home turf, Sidakov would have the breakthrough tournament of his career. Making the semifinals off a win over 2016 Junior World bronze medalist Shmagi Todua (GEO), Sidakov faced off against reigning two-time world champion #5 Frank Chamizo (ITA).

    Chamizo had been seen as untouchable after his run at the world championships where he put on an offensive clinic against five World/Olympic medalists in Elamin Dogdurbek Uulu (KGZ), Ikhtiyor Navruzov (UZB), Akzhurek Tanatarov (KAZ), Yakup Gor (TUR) and #7 (70) James Green (USA). Chamizo was going to be another elite that Sidakov would be close against but fall all the same. Except Sidakov wasn't close at all, Sidakov was the front runner, Sidakov exhausted Chamizo, completely stymying the brilliant offense of the Italian champion from building momentum in a career-defining 9-6 victory. Seeking to build off his momentum from his massive win over Chamizo, Sidakov sought revenge for his two past losses to 2016 world champion Kurbanaliev. Sidakov looked keen to actualize a win over Kurbanaliev and throughout the majority of the match led the Dagestani standout, but a critical mistake from Sidakov off a slideby gave Kurbanaliev the opportunity to use his underhooks to get to a bodylock and score a massive four-point throw that would change the entire course of the match and win him the Alans title 7-5.

    2018-2021

    Announcing his contender status with his 70 KG runner-up finish at the Alans, Sidakov made the move up to 74 KG in 2018, as he had outgrown the 70 KG weight class. Debuting at his new weight class at the Yarygin, Sidakov would make the finals opposite returning world runner-up #14 Khetag Tsabolov (SRB). Falling behind the returning Russian national champion 1-0 at the end of the first, a clutch head outside single early in the second for Tsabolov would push his lead over Sidakov to 3-0 and seal the win a 3-1 win for him after a late Sidakov push.

    Coming off his silver medal at the Yarygin, Sidakov competed at the World Military Championships, winning gold over Hamed Rashidi of Iran before going into an impressive field at the U23 European Championships. A 12-1 win over returning champion #7 Avtandil Kentchadze (GEO) put Sidakov in the finals opposite the returning world runner-up #1 (79) Akhsarbek Gulaev (SVK). Against his fellow North-Ossetian Gulaev, Sidakov would be limited to a 3-1 for U23 European gold for his final competition before the Russian Nationals in August.

    Making his second Russian Nationals finals match with victories over #9 Timur Bizhoev (RUS) and #14 (79) Evgheni Lapshov (RUS) in the quarterfinals and semifinals, Sidakov would get his chance of revenge from his Yarygin finals loss to Tsabolov. In the match-winning takedown, Sidakov was able to secure a double leg takedown with short time in the second on the edge of the mat to take his second national title with a 2-2 win over Tsabolov.

    Beginning his first Senior World Championships with a 10-0 win over Miroslav Kirov of Bulgaria in the qualification round, Sidakov moved onto the Round of 16 against 2011 60 KG world runner-up Franklin Gomez Matos (PUR) and won 6-0 to set up a huge quarterfinal match against returning world champion Jordan Burroughs (USA). After an opening takedown from Burroughs, Sidakov took the 2-2 lead in the final minute of the match with a beautiful slideby. The second period began with Burroughs charging in on a single leg to retake the lead 3-2 with a pushout. A clean high crotch for Sidakov would take the 4-2 match lead with 32 seconds left. Converting a single leg takedown with 10 seconds left, Burroughs took the 5-4 lead. Immediately on the restart of the match, Sidakov dives in on a swim high crotch and gets in on Burroughs' legs and driving up to his feet with every ounce of strength left in his body and driving across a double leg Sidakov is able to get the step out with one second remaining in the match to take the 5-5 win over the returning world champion. A last-second challenge for Burroughs was waved off, and so sealed the 6-5 win for Sidakov.

    Getting no relief in his next match, Sidakov would face off against reigning 70 KG world champion Frank Chamizo of Italy. A 1-0 lead led Sidakov through the first period and late in the second period, with Chamizo up 1-1 off a shot clock violation, Sidakov would convert off a bodylock takedown with under a minute left in the match to take the 3-1 lead. A high crotch to a double leg for Chamizo earned him a stepout, but it was not enough to stop Sidakov, who would make the world finals with a 3-2 win over the reigning 70 KG world champion. In the world finals match against Avtandil Kentchadze (GEO) would bank off a high crotch takedown in the first period to conclude his spectacular run with world gold.

    Off the high of his world title, Sidakov began 2019 by winning his second Yarygin title with wins over #9 Timur Bizhoev (RUS), #9 (70) Azamat Nurikov (BLR) and 2x World medalist Yakup Gor (TUR). Sidakov would put together a 2-0 record at the World Cup, alternating action with #9 Timur Bizhoev (RUS) that saw him beat Geandry Garzon (CUB) and 2014 Asian champion Reza Afzali Paemani (IRI). Not competing at the Russian Nationals due to a scheduling issue with the European Games, Sidakov would wrestle the winner of the Russian Nationals at a later date to decide who would compete at the World Championships. At the European Games, Sidakov would begin his tournament with a 5-3 win over #7 Avtandil Kentchadze (GEO) in a rematch of their 2018 world finals. An early chest wrap in the semifinals against #9 (70) Azamat Nurikov (BLR) looked to spell trouble for Sidakov, but the North Ossetian world champ recovered for the 6-4 win. In the finals, Sidakov was completely dominant with a first-period pin over two-time World/Olympic medalist #13 Soner Demirtas (TUR).

    Winning his wrestle-off against Russian National champion Kurbanaliev at the Russian National team training camp, Sidakov went into the World Championships looking to claim his second consecutive world title. Sidakov's first real test of the world championships wouldn't come until the semifinals against Burroughs. Trailing the American with 5 seconds left in the match, Sidakov was able to pull off a miraculous pushout to walk away with a 4-3 win in another razor-thin victory over the American great. Facing a familiar opponent in Italy's Chamizo, Sidakov pulled away from the Italian with a 5-2 finals win for world title number two.

    Sidakov would only compete once in 2020 at the Russian Nationals championships looking to win his third national title. In his opening round match, he would face returning national runner-up Tsabolov in a rematch of their 2018 national finals match. Tsabolov was on fire and peppered Sidakov with head outside singles and a crucial set of exposures would give Tsabolov the huge 12-3 upset over the reigning two-time world champion Sidakov. With Tsabolov making the finals off an 8-7 criteria win over returning national champion #16 Magomed Kurbanaliev (RUS), Sidakov was pulled into repechage where he'd face his old foe Kurbanaliev for bronze. Sidakov showed the Dagestani no mercy and punished the past national champion 9-1 for bronze.

    Sidakov's path to Olympic gold in 2021 would begin with first winning arguably the tougher tournament in Russian Nationals. Buyan Tsyrenov (RUS), Darsam Dzhaparov (RUS), #16 Magomed Kurbanaliev (RUS) and #9 Timur Bizhoev (RUS) would fall to Sidakov on his path to the finals where he'd face returning national champion Razambek Zhamalov of Russia. A spectacular rise through the rankings saw Zhamalov take out world champions Tsabolov and Chamizo to conclude 2020 and be a contender in Tokyo. In the battle of the two best 74's in the world, it would again come down to the last second heroics of Sidakov in big matches that would seal the win with two stepouts for the 2-2 win over the 2020 Individual World Cup champion and Russian Nationals title number three. To finalize his 2021 competition schedule before the Tokyo Olympics, Sidakov won the City of Sassari tournament title over Jasmit Phulka (CAN).

    #1 Zaurbek Sidkaov (RUS) is in elite company in a loaded field at the 74 KG Olympics along with a pair of two-time world champions in #2 Kyle Dake (USA) and #5 Frank Chamizo (ITA). The trio are all in the runnings to make history and if Sidakov is able to come away beating them and the ever dangerous Kadimagomedov who's also in the bracket, then he will have put his name on the shortlist of best 74 KG wrestlers of the past generation. A man who, time and time, has come up clutch, the Olympics will be Sidakov's greatest test and there is no bigger or better story to me than that going into Tokyo.
