In her quarterfinal match a few hours earlier she definitely appeared sick. They brought the vomit bucket out for her and she was fortunate to hang on for the victory. In the semis she was very wobbly on her feet. My opinion is she got sick at the worst possible time.Something's wrong with her. I've heard both sickness or injury.
And to add to your post:Amit Elor is just crushing everyone. Amazing what she has already accomplished, and her Sr. level career is just beginning.
Updated again. Seven combined age and senior World Championships medals (six being gold) since 2019, and still only 19, which is just incredible. I must confess I thought her competition would start finding ways to at least slow her down, but it hasn't happened! Regarding her last loss, it was in the semis of the 2019 Cadet World Championships where she lost to her Japanese opponent 3-1. She was in the lead with :25 seconds remaining, but was then taken down. She took third that tournament.Regarding Amit Elor, here is what I posted about her a few months ago: "Imagine the potential career of someone like Amit Elor who only turned 18 on January 1. I am anxious to see how well she does at this year's World Championships. She was not challenged at either the Cadet or Junior level last year. In 2021 she wrestled in both the Cadet and Junior World Championships, taking gold in both without being scored upon. She outscored her opponents 63-0 in winning both tournaments. Here is the UWW link to all of her Cadet and Junior World Championships matches [Edit: now including her 2022 U20 and Senior World Championships bouts.] Amit Elor matches The sky is the limit for her."
Aug. 18, 2023 update: Since 2021 Amit has competed in seven World Championships; Cadets, Juniors, U20 and Seniors. In those seven tournaments she outscored her opponents 166-3 with five falls. [Edit: I went back and included the points she scored in the matches where she got the fall]
I am amazed given her frame that she could even get 13 pounds under her wrestling weight. She must have been extremely dehydrated. Tough lady! I feel bad for her that she got food poisoning at such a horrible time. I wonder when Amit will make her decision on if she is going to try for 68 or 76 for the Olympic Trials? It is a shame we have so many amazing wrestlers near the same weight. It would be so awesome for the men and women to get back to 10 weights, but I doubt that will ever happen.
Is she from...Turkey? That's my guess, judging from her name.Updated again.
