Wrestling recap, Aug. 6: Team USA’s Hildebrandt wins QF, Tokyo champ Susaki out in opener

Women’s 50kg Freestyle

Sarah Hildebrandt is now guaranteed a second bronze medal in women’s 50kg freestyle.

She defeated Kyrgyzstan’s Ibtissem Doudou in an almost clinical opening Round of 16 match, then China’s (more challenging) Feng Ziqi in the quarterfinals. 

The latter saw Hildebrandt come from behind after a rough start — but she ultimately secured a 7-4 win, plus a spot in the semifinals.

The women’s 50kg morning session provided international excitement as well, particularly when Japan’s Tokyo 2020 Olympics gold medalist Yui Susaki lost her Round of 16 match to India’s Vinesh Phogat.
