Paris Olympics 2024, Women's Greco-Roman Wrestling: Powering to Gold


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.

This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at greigleach.com or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above. Since it is an original work of art, it is a first come first served reality. The work sells for $95 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
