Zagir Mukhtarpashaevich Shakhiev (Russian: Загир Мухтарпашаевич Шахиев; born 15 April 1999) is a Russian freestyle wrestler who competes at 65 kilograms.[1] Shakhiev is the reigning World Champion and European Champion, as well as a two-time Russian National medalist and a Cadet World Champion.[2]

Career[]

Shakiev, of Chechen descent,[3][4] started wrestling at the age of eight, and went on to become the 2016 Cadet World Champion at 46 kilograms.[5] After competing at some international tournaments in Russia and Armenia, he broke into the senior level scene in 2020, claiming a bronze medal from the 2020 Russian National Championships,[6] and followed the roll by claiming a silver medal in 2021, only losing to reigning World Champion from Dagestan Gadzhimurad Rashidov in the finals.[7] After his performance at the 2021 Russian Nationals, Sakhiev claimed the 2021 European Continental Championship in April.[2]

As a replacement for returning World Champion Gadzhimurad Rashidov, Sakhiev travelled to Norway in order to compete at the 2021 World Championships from 3 to 4 October.[8] An underdog to win the championship, he battled on his way to the finale, notably defeating former Junior and University World Champion Selahattin Kılıçsallayan and '19 U23 Asian champion Tömör-Ochiryn Tulga to advance to the next date.[9] Sakhiev dominated over Amir Mohammad Yazdani to claim the crown and become the 2021 World Champion on 4 October.[10]
