The 27-year-old Tunisian wrestler Marwa Amri won the bronze medal in the under-58 kg women’s wrestling at the Rio Olympics.

She defeated Yuliya Ratkevich, of Azerbaijan, in the repechage rounds late this Wednesday afternoon (17).

It was the second medal for Tunisia in these Olympics. The first one, also a bronze, was won by Ines Boubakri in women’s fencing.

Amri was in repechage after losing a round-of-16 match to Japan’s Kaori Icho, who would move on to win gold.

Russia’s Valeriia Koblova Zholobova took silver, and India’s Sakshi Malik, who won the second repechage, also took bronze.

The same as in judo and boxing, two competitors get bronze medals in wrestling.
