EDITORS COMMENTS
Ahmed Madrali, the Terrible Turk, is depicted on the cover of The Tatler magazine in 1904, following his swift defeat in the world wrestling championship at Olympia. Madrali's powerful and muscular physique, a testament to his dedication to the sport, is on full display as he lies defeated on the ground. His opponent, the Russian Georges Hackenschmidt, stands triumphantly over him, having dislocated Madrali's right arm in just forty seconds. The quickness of Hackenschmidt's victory came as a surprise to many, as Madrali was considered one of the strongest and most formidable wrestlers of his time. The image captures the raw intensity and physicality of the sport, as well as the determination and grit of its athletes. Despite the loss, Madrali's reputation as a fierce and tenacious fighter remained undiminished, and he continued to compete in wrestling matches around the world. This iconic photograph showcases the skill, strength, and courage of two of the greatest wrestlers of the early 20th century.
