Aleksandar Tomov

PC: Biser Todorov

Aleksandar Tomov is 5x world champion Greco-Roman wrestler for Bulgaria. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest super-heavyweight wrestlers of all time.

Unlike many others who are in the greatest ever or “goat” conversation, Tomov has never won an Olympic gold medal but has done pretty much everything else.

Tomov was a 3x Olympic silver medalist losing to Anatoly Roshchin and Alexander Kolchinsky of the Soviet Union on those occasions.

He was a 5x European champion and also has 2 silvers, and a bronze medal at the European championships.
