Alexander Karelin is a thirteen-time champion of the USSR, CIS, and Russia in Greco-Roman wrestling up to 130 kg.

🔻He became the youngest Olympic champion in the 130 kg Greco-Roman wrestling category at the age of 21, a first for the sport.

🔻In 1986, he participated in fourteen tournaments, winning them all.

In 1988, Karelin competed in the Olympic Games for the first time. He weighed 112 kilograms at the time. Despite trailing Bulgarian wrestler Rangel Gerowski after the first period, he managed to snatch victory with just 15 seconds remaining in the bout, using a unique technique called the "reverse belt" (in the photo) that no other super heavyweight wrestler has been able to do.

🔻He is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the athlete who went undefeated in thirteen years of competition.
