A Russian doctor rushed to help a Ukrainian sambo wrestler who lost consciousness during the World Championships.
Vladislav Rudnev, a six-time champion, just lost to Russian competitor Aslanbek Kodziev. The Ukrainian athlete lost consciousness due to prolonged suffocation, and one of the first people who rushed to his aid was a doctor from the Russian national team.
He was soon joined by a Georgian colleague. Together, they helped Rudnev regain consciousness and get back on his feet.
Kodziev went on to become the world champion in the category up to 79 kg. The gold medal at the World Championships in Tashkent was the second world title of the Austrian athlete.
