Polish wrestler Stanislaus Zybyszko, who competed in both CACC and Greco-Roman. This photo from c. 1913 shows him holding an opponent in a reverse waist lock.
The noted Polish wrestler & wrestling coach, Wladyslaw Pytlasinski (1863 - 1933), who was a contemporary of men like Hackenschmidt, the Zbyszko brothers, Poddubny, et al. He was one of the top Greco-Roman stylists of his day, and he was also skilled in jacket wrestling.
The great Kara Ahmed (1870 - 1902). Ahmed was described by George Hackenschmidt as a "first-rate Turkish wrestler". In 1900, at a tournament in Budapest, it took Hackenschmidt "nearly three hours" to defeat Ahmed.
Nikola Petroff (1873 - 1925), a formidable Bulgarian wrestler who was among the top grapplers in Europe, at the beginning of the 20th century. He also coached George Hackenschmidt for a time.
Champion weightlifter and wrestler, George Hackenschmidt, c. 1908.
Aleksander Aberg (1881 - 1920). Known variously as the "Mystery of the Mat" and "Wrestler-Enigma". He was 5'10" tall and weighed 216 lbs. Especially famous for his incredible endurance (2-hr bouts were no problem for him), he was coached by the noted physical culturalist Adolph Andrushkevitch, and fellow wrestler George Lurich. He fought approximately 5000 bouts, and he defeated Stanislaus Zbyszko, among others. He was capable of a pullover & floor press of 330 lbs, and he juggled 35-lb and 70-lb kettlebells. His career was unfortunately cut short when he and George Lurich both died of typhoid fever, while they were touring the Kuban region of the Caucasus.
The famous Kazakh wrestling champion, Kazhymukan Munaitpasov (1871 - 1948). Munaitpasov apparently had quite a formidable reputation in the early 20th century; among his many grappling exploits, he defeated a Japanese jujutsuka named Harakiki Jindofu, who unfortunately died from spinal damage suffered during their match. Info on Munaitpasov is difficult to find in English, and it would be great to know more about him.
Estonian wrestling champion Gustav Vahar (1879 - 1966). Vahar originally trained and competed in Reval (Tallinn), along with other formidable grapplers like Georg Lurich, Aleksander Aberg, and George Hackenschmidt. He wrestled competitively from 1899 to 1914.
German wrestling champion Jakob Koch (1870 - 1918). As a teenager, Koch trained in weightlifting, gymnastics, and wrestling, at Turngemeinde Neuss von 1848, and he eventually became one of the top competitors in Greco-Roman wrestling during the early 20th century. He competed from 1896 to 1914.
