8x World Champion Amit Elor Experiences a Heartwarming Moment As U.S.A. Wrestling Federation Honors Her Outstanding Contributions

Amit Elor’s unbelievable exploits on the mat have catapulted her to the top of the wrestling world. Her incredible performances have made an everlasting impression on all wrestling fans. Elor’s rise to the elite level while stamping her rare brand of excellence at every championship level. Starting with the U17 and quickly progressing to the U20, Elor mowed down the competition last year. In 2023, with her first senior world title secured, she began another campaign at the U23 worlds.

Remarkably, she secured another triumphant victory, bringing her total win record this season to an impressive three championships. Little did she expect the next big step from the U.S.A. Wrestling, unfolding a heartwarming moment in her illustrious journey.

U.S.A. Wrestling honors Amit Elor

Every year, ‘The Living The Dream Medal Fund’ holds a gala where they recognize and reward the hard work and subsequent achievements of great wrestlers. As the world champion for the second time, Amit Elor received the invitation again this year. She donned an elegant black knee-length dress and completed the look with black shoes. She posted a carousel of pictures from the event on Instagram, holding a big cheque to the tune of $50,000. A humbled Elor accompanied the pictures with a note of gratitude in the captions that read, “Thank you to the Living the Dream Medal Fund (LDMF) for everything you do for the sport of wrestling I really enjoyed having dinner with you all, for the second year in a row! I loved meeting and chatting with each one of you. I will continue to do my best to make you all proud!”

U.S.A. Wrestling and the U.S. Wrestling Foundation joined forces with the LTDMF to give accolades on Zain Retherford and Amit Elor. These two 2023 World champions received $50,000 cheques, while bronze medalist Mason Parris received $15,000. Several other wrestling legends received similar cheques according to their world championship rankings.

Each of the distinguished guests relished the rare chance to be in each other’s company and enjoyed the delectable dishes served at the event. Amit Elor took pictures of her mouth-watering plate and gorged on the food to her heart’s content. After the event, Amit Elor availed the public transport and carried the huge cheque down the subway. For her, the money does not matter as much as doing her part for the wrestling community.
