This is a memorial relief depicting Georg Lurich (1876 - 1920) was one of the most famous Estonian professional wrestlers.
It is not known how many times Georg Lurich became World Champion. Due to the lack of an organizing and coordinating international organization, every major international championship was declared World Championship. Lurich set about 40 world records, as high-sport world records were also considered to be durable and vigorous at that time
There is an inscription on the stone next to the relief saying:
