“Act like you’ve been there before” – 74kg Men’s Freestyle medalists

Sometimes it’s nice to have some levity amid tense situations.

These three guys have won four, three, and one world championships each, plus an Olympic gold medal for that guy in the middle.

Sidakov and Tsabolov are close friends, having trained together in Ossetia for many years.

There was one more medalist up there with them, though. And it was his first world medal.

Cue: 🎵One of these things is not like the others…🎵
