Ten-Year-Old Wrestler Ellada Agamalieva Gains Fame for Victories

Ellada Agamalieva, a 10-year-old from Arkhangelsk, has become a sensation due to her impressive wrestling skills and numerous victories in Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling. With 50 wins under her belt, Ellada’s videos showcasing her talent have garnered millions of views online, leading to appearances on television shows and future film roles.

The young athlete’s mother, Sabina Agamalieva, shared that Ellada’s wrestling journey began at her own request. Despite having siblings involved in other sports like taekwondo and Greco-Roman wrestling, Ellada gravitated towards wrestling. Her natural talent and dedication quickly led to success, earning her the nickname “Tigress” for her fierce competitive spirit.

Ellada’s fame exploded in 2024 when videos of her wrestling boys went viral. Her mother says that one video alone earned 38 million views. While this newfound attention has brought opportunities, it has also presented challenges. The lack of female wrestling partners her age and weight has forced her to compete against boys, leading some coaches and parents to express concerns about the impact on their male counterparts.

Despite these obstacles, Ellada remains focused on her goals, which include becoming an Olympic champion and a wrestling coach. She participated in the show “Super Ninja. Children” and is slated to appear in Fyodor Bondarchuk’s film, portraying a young athlete.
