USA’s Prodigal Wrestling Daughter Gets “Battle Ready” for U23 World Championship in Epic Quest for 8th Career Gold at Worlds

In the annals of the wrestling world, one of the highly acknowledged names is of the USA’s young Wrestling Prodigy. Following the phrase “just wrestling no matter who it is,” the 19-year-old, Amit Elor, has dominated the mats since the day she entered the world mat. 

She has only been defeated by Japan’s Honoka in a semifinal match at the 2019 World Wrestling Championships. USA’s 69 kg wrestling sensation will compete in the U23 World Wrestling Championships in Tirana, Albania, this year. 

Chasing Eighth World Title this month

Amt Elor is all set to dominate the U23 World Wrestling Championships 2023. As she is pouring her sweat and blood to train for the tournament, it would mark her sixth world title in the last 12 months and eighth career gold. A recent story put up on Amit Elor’s instagram handle is captioned, “Battle ready“. 

At a mere 19 years old, Amit features an impressive resume with a two-time senior world championship title, a three-time U20 World championship title, and a U17 and U23 World Championships title. In addition to this, she is also the first American wrestler to win each world championship title. 

She will be moving to Albania this year to compete for her U23 World championship title. Today, she will compete against her opponent, Zaineb Sghaier, from Tunisia. While Amit Elor is ranked at the 6th position in the world rankings, Zaineb is currently holding the 7th position. Therefore, spectators are thrilled to watch this upcoming intense showdown.

Why is she switching from 72 Kg?

However, the only attraction at U23 World Championship 2023 is Amit Elor switching from her previously fought 72 Kg wrestling category. Although she will compete in the 72kg category this time, she must switch to the Olympics weight class. The primary reason behind this switch is that 68 kg, 76kg, and 78kg weight classes are unavailable in the Olympics 2028.

Overall, as she is performing exceptionally well on the world mat, it is pretty evident that she is far from ending. But, with her impressive series of world titles this year, she is girded up to clinch another glory to her name. Now the question is: Are you ready to witness unstoppable Amit Elor?
