In a span of two days, Team USA’s Amit Elor demonstrated she’s the new face of American wrestling by crushing her opponents at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

By Tuesday evening, the 68kg star proved she was all gold in the City of Light. 

The 20-year-old Elor, a California native, had no trouble with Kyrgyzstan’s Meerim Zhumanazarova in their Gold Medal Match, winning 3-0. 

In fact, Elor surrendered all of two points during her entire Olympic campaign.
