RUDIS is honored to announce a landmark partnership with United World Wrestling (UWW), the global governing body of the sport. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to honor the spirit of wrestling and serve its athletes, fans, and community with gratitude and humility.
Wrestling is far more than a sport—it is a universal connection that transcends borders, unites cultures, and transforms lives. “Wrestling connects us to something far greater than ourselves,” said Nancy Schultz, RUDIS Partner and Global Wrestling Advocate. “This partnership allows us to continue uplifting the sport and honoring its global impact and legacy.”
With deep appreciation for wrestling’s enduring power, RUDIS and UWW aim to celebrate the sport’s rich history while empowering its future. “This collaboration embodies the spirit of wrestling, fostering unity and growth across all nations,” said Nenad Lalović, President of UWW.
RUDIS was built on the belief that wrestling is a sacred calling. “It is with immense gratitude and deep love that we are honored to take on this opportunity to serve wrestling and its global community,” said Jesse Leng, Co-Founder and CEO of RUDIS. “Wrestling is at the core of everything we do—it’s not just the sport we serve; it’s the lens through which we view every challenge. This partnership gives us the chance to wrestle at the highest level, uplifting athletes and fans while honoring wrestling’s timeless legacy.”
This shared mission reflects the humility and dedication of the wrestling community. “Wrestling is the greatest sport in the world. And this is a great day for wrestling. I believe RUDIS and UWW will grow the sport in a tremendous way,” said Kyle Snyder, Olympic and World Champion.
At its heart, wrestling is about resilience and transformation. “The energy of stepping into new space, with bigger visions, strengthened with new connections is palpable.,” said Sarah Hildebrandt, Olympic medalist and Team RUDIS athlete. “I’m so excited for this partnership and how it will elevate wrestling, aid tremendously in the growth of women’s wrestling, and truly open new doors within the sport.”
The partnership represents an exciting new chapter for wrestling, bringing together a shared vision to elevate the sport and its community. “Wrestling is a global family, defined by its enduring legacy and relentless pursuit of excellence,” said Alaina Hanson, Chief Operating Officer of RUDIS. “This collaboration is about more than products – it's about fostering a shared vision, inspiring athletes, and serving communities worldwide.”
For many, wrestling is a way to uncover truth and strength. “It isn’t a game—it’s a war, against everything you strive to conquer,” said Jordan Burroughs, Olympic and World Champion. “This partnership ensures the next generation will experience the beauty and power of this sport, connecting people across cultures and borders.”
Gordon Templeman, Director of Commercial Operations and Communications, shed more light on the partnership and its goal. “Through this partnership, we aim to inspire and engage the global wrestling community, elevating the sport to new heights.”
With humility and gratitude, RUDIS and UWW stand poised to shape the next chapter of the sport we all love. This partnership honors wrestling’s sacred tradition while empowering its limitless future, building a stronger global community through the heart of wrestling.
