Blessing Oborodudu to Compete for Bronze After Semi-Final Loss

Blessing Oborodudu missed out on a spot in the women’s 68kg wrestling final after losing to Kyrgyzstan’s Meerim Zhumanazarova, who won the semi-final 3-1 on points.

Oborodudu, hampered by an injury, will now compete for the bronze medal on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old wrestler had earlier secured victories against Canadian and French opponents on Monday.

Three years ago in Tokyo, she won a silver medal in the same event.
