    2023 World Championships: Medal Milestone List

    The final medals were awarded at the 2023 World Championships on Sunday which put a bow on the marquee event on the Senior level calendar for this year. The United States men’s freestyle team took the title, while the women’s team finished as runner’s-up to Japan. Each team earned seven world medals (four of which were gold). 

    A handful of the active legends on the American team added more hardware to their already impressive legacy. Tallying their career medal count led us to do so for each of the medalists at the 2023 World Championships; in all three styles. 

    Below, you will find the milestones that each wrestler hit with their performance in Belgrade. Some became multi-time champions, while others multi-time medalists, or perhaps first-timer’s. Wrestlers have been grouped according to their career medal haul; with champions coming before medalists. 

    For the ease of this exercise, we have combined Olympic and world medals. For instance, the first wrestler below, Yui Susaki won her fourth world title last week, to go along with a 2020(1) Olympic gold medal, so she’s alone in the 5x champion category.
