Osman Duraliev (Bulgarian: Осман Дуралиев, 15 January 1939 – 25 April 2011) was a Bulgarian freestyle wrestler. Between 1967 and 1972 he won ten silver medals at major international competitions, including the 1968 and 1972 Summer Olympics.[1] In eight of them he lost the final to Aleksandr Medved.[2][3] He came close to winning at the 1971 World Championships in Sofia, where he led the match 4:3 with 43 seconds left. Yet Medved equalized the score and won the title because of his lower body weight.[4]
In 1989 Duraliev immigrated to Turkey, where he died aged 72.[4]
