It took some time, but the United States now has a gold medalist in women's wrestling.
And to earn it, Helen Maroulis had to beat a woman who knows a thing or two about gold medals: Japan's Saori Yoshida, a 13-time world champion and three-time reigning Olympic champion.
It was a gold medal showdown that the wrestling world had been looking forward to for a long time. Maroulis, the reigning world champion at 55kg, versus Yoshida, the reigning world champion at 53kg.
The first period ended with Yoshida leading 1-0 after Maroulis failed to convert when put on the 30-second shot clock. The American came out strong in the second period though, getting two takedowns to earn a 4-1 victory on points.
And with that, Maroulis added "Olympic champion" to her résumé.

It must have been Caster Semenya? There is a boatload of controversy about ‘her’. From what i can gather, she was born a hermaphrodite and competes as a woman. SMH
Caster Semen?yea,
Looked like he had it!!!!
That was ridiculous!
I’ll be right back, gotta oink some.
Wrestling: An hour of exertion in six minutes.
She wants a sixpak abs
Caster has a vagina, with internal TESTICLES that produce 8x as much testosterone as a normal woman. Thus s/he performs like a man, and it is an outrage s/he was allowed to compete at all among women.
Ya gotta just LOVE that genuine smile...cauliflower ears and all.
Outstanding job, young Lady.
Yes. I just read that ‘she’ has internal testicles. In 2012, ‘she’ was required to take testosterone suppressing drugs to be able to compete. Why not thus year?? I would protest if I lost to her in any event. She is NOT A WOMAN.
