Wrestling-golds from Higuchi and Sakurai gasoline Japan’s dominance on mat

Paris –
Powerhouse Japan claimed two of Friday’s three freestyle wrestling gold medals on the Paris Olympics by way of Rei Higuchi and Tsugumi Sakurai to take care of their dominance on the mat on the Champ de Mars Arena.

Bulgaria’s Magomed Ramazanov gained the lads’s 86-kg gold in opposition to an injured Hassan Yazdani of Iran, who settled for silver.

Higuchi gained the 57-kg freestyle gold with a 4-2 win in opposition to American Spencer Lee to banish recollections of lacking the house Olympics in Tokyo three years in the past after he was discovered to be chubby in a qualifying match.
