Cuban Marin will go for the bronze medal in Olympic wrestling

Paris, Aug 11 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Milaimy Marin entered the bronze medal race in the 76 kilograms division of the women's freestyle wrestling at the Olympic Games, after the injury of Romanian Catalina Axente, her rival, media confirmed on Sunday.

The Pan American champion will face Aiperi Medet, from Kyrgyzstan, in the fight for the third place in the category.

It is worth remembering that Marin made her debut in the tournament on Saturday with a 7-1 victory over Bulgaria’s Yuliana Yaneva and then lost 3-4 with US wrestler Kennedy Alexis Blades.

Precisely, Kennedy was the one who injured Axente on Saturday, after projecting her head against the mat and leaving her immobilized, an action that caused a severe neck injury as she was stretchered out.
