Khetag Nikolayevich Tsabolov (Russian: Хетаг Николаевич Цаболов, Ossetian: Цæболты Николайы фырт Хетæг; born 17 November 1991), also known as Khetik Tsabolov (Serbian: Хетик Цаболов, romanized: Hetik Cabolov), is a Russian and Serbian freestyle wrestler who competes at 74 kilograms. After competing for Russia throughout his career, Tsabolov transferred to Serbia in February 2021, and has since represented the latter.[1] An accomplished athlete, he won the World Championship and the Russian Nationals in 2014 (70 kg), and claimed a World Championship silver medal after winning Russian Nationals in 2017.
He was also the 2018 Ivan Yarygin Grand Prix champion (medalist in 2012 and 2014), a three-time Russian National runner-up (2018, 2019 and 2020), and a two-time Military World Games champion (2015 and 2019). A three-time Military World Champion, Tsabolov was also a '11 Junior World Champion.[2]
He competed in the 74 kg event at the 2022 World Wrestling Championships held in Belgrade, Serbia. He won a bronze medal & thus qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[3]
