Ghika, with great performances at the ongoing Jordan U17 World Wrestling Championship, proved why she is the golden hope of Greek wrestling. At 43 kg she showed, despite the fact that she was the third youngest athlete, that she is made of… metal and comfortably reached the final. He has already secured a medal and will challenge for gold on Thursday.
At the age of just 15, she won her fifth medal in European and world championships and is… consistent with the podiums!
The Greek champion faced Assadli in her first match. The independent athlete, despite taking a 4-0 lead, then found herself trailing 13-5 and suffered a fall loss.
Next opponent is China’s Huang. Ghika left no room for her opponent and won 6-0, securing qualification to the semi-finals.
There he faced the Mexican Palacios. With a new complete appearance, she prevailed 6-1 and got the “ticket” for the grand final, where she will face the Indian Aditi.
Maria Mani at 57 kg is on the way to the bronze medal. In her first match she defeated Turkala Gusoi with typical ease and qualified for the “16”. Against Neha she lost by fall, but the Indian champion advanced to the final and gave Mani another chance.
On Thursday, Mani will fight in the repechage against Georgia’s Kapanadze and, if she wins, she will face Kazakhstan’s Stratan for the bronze medal.
