Osman Duraliev

Osman Duraliev was a Bulgarian freestyle wrestler with Turkish origin. Between 1967 and 1972 he won ten silver medals at major international competitions, including the 1968 and 1972 Summer Olympics. In eight of them he lost the final to Aleksandr Medved. He came close to winning at the 1971 World Championships in Sofia, where he led the match 4:3 with 43 seconds left. Yet Medved equalized the score and won the title because of his lower body weight.
In 1989 Duraliev immigrated to Turkey, where he died aged 72.
