Team USA’s Amit Elor, the prodigious 68kg wrestler from California, won her Paris Olympic semifinal by technical superiority — 10-0 — against North Korea’s Sum Pak in less than two minutes on Monday evening.
Elor is now guaranteed at least a silver medal. She’ll fight for gold on Tuesday, Aug. 6.
The victory follows two other clinical smackdowns Elor performed earlier in the day. In her opening match, the 20-year-old dismantled top-seeded Buse Tosun of Turkiye. An hour and some change later, she swatted away Poland’s Wiktoria Choluj in a lopsided quarterfinal.
