Defending Olympic champion Abdulrashid Sadulaev was on hand at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a training center in Russia bearing his name.

The Abdulrashid Sadulaev School Of Sport is located in downtown Makhachkala, the capital city in Sadulaev's home republic of Dagestan. The training center will be available to the youth of Dagestan to stay off the street and stay involved with the area's biggest sport. The three-time world champion posed for pictures with local kids outside the center while talking to the media. Also in attendance at the ribbon cutting were Dagestani natives Abdulsalam Gadisov, Ali Shabanue, and long-time Russian coach Magomed Husynov.

During the interview below Sadulaev says that this training center is one of several planning to be opened across Russia in the near future.
