[2] Emerging as Russia's most decorated taekwondo player of all time, Magomedov accrued a set of twenty-one medals in his sporting career, including four European men's flyweight titles, three bronzes from the World Championships, and a single gold from the 2005 Summer Universiade in Izmir, Turkey.

[6][7] Magomedov missed his chance to reinstate another glory over Green for the quarterfinal match, after crashing out in a disgraceful 10–12 defeat to Vietnam's Nguyễn Quốc Huân in the opening round.

[8][9][10] In 2005, Magomedov improved from his ill-fated Olympic feat to strike Iran's Majid Sajjadi with a 5–1 record for his first ever career gold medal in the 54-kg division at the Summer Universiade in Izmir, Turkey, adding this accolade to two bronzes each from the World and European Championships.

[4][3] The following year, he reached the summit of his sporting career by obtaining his first European men's flyweight title in Bonn, Germany, defeating his Azerbaijani opponent Zahid Mammadov.

[citation needed] Despite missing out a bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics on his second attempt, Magomedov managed to defend his gold medal for the fourth straight time in the 54-kg division at the European Championships in Manchester, England.
