What a wonderful picture. Thank you for sharing.

I still remember first seeing him in San Diego '79. Someone in our group said- How are you supposed to wrestle THAT?

There is a decent amount of footage of him. Below is a match he had with Bruce. I think he had a strong case for being the best Freestyle wrestler to never win an Olympic Gold medal. 

We've lost a lot of great wrestlers recently. I think Medved and Saitiev both died within the past two years. Ivanitsky died not that long ago.

I think someone had dyslexia. Film looks more like 1938!

Looks like super8 movie film.....that's what I was doing before VHS....My first world cup video is 1984, or my copy might have been better.
