Khetag Nikolayevich Tsabolov (Russian: Хетаг Николаевич Цаболов, Iron Ossetic: 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. In February 2016, Khetag became the Alexander Medved Grand Prix champion in Belarus, where he pinned the future 2016 Olympic champion Hassan Yazdani in the final round (74 kg).[2]

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.[3]

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.[4]
