Aleksandr Vasiliyevich Medved (born 16 September 1937 in Bila Tserkva, Kyiv Oblast) is a Soviet Belarusian freestyle wrestler and three-time Olympic champion. He won seven world, three European and many more USSR titles.

Interesting Fact

At the Tokyo Olympics he was a favourite and easily defeated his opponents. However, it is well-known that overconfidence never leads to anything good. In the tournament final Medved went against a Swedish wrestler Eriksen, a relatively unintimidating opponent. Aleksandr stepped on the wrestling mat on to the applause of the audience...and almost lost the fight. This was the hardest bout he's ever experienced. Yes, he won, but at the cost of inhuman, almost titanic effort. As he later admitted that after this very fight the slogan of his life became: "Medved! Respect your every opponent!"

Quote

I believe you can always fight the strength to go on. If it seems like "That's it, that's the limit". You have to force yourself. Believe in yourself. And never lose your spirit.
