Powering to Gold PO24-69
The Gold Medal Match in Women's Greco-Roman Wrestling pitted the young American Amit Elor (USA) against Meerim Zhumanazarova (Kyrgyzstan). Kyrgyzstan has never won a gold medal in this event, so I am sure she felt the pressure to perform. Elor got the early two points for a take down and then towards the end of the first round she got another point for Meerim's inactivity. That was all of the points scored which gave the Gold Medal to Elor and the Silver to Zhumanzsarova. It was fun to watch the American gambol around the mat waving the American flag behind her like a cape.
