Commentary

Georgina got off to a good start in her first match.

Winning by a pin over Daria Osocka (Gold medalist at 2015 U23 European Games) of Poland, the commentary from Coach Eddy Kavanagh, “Was 1-1 early in 2nd round, when Polish athlete went for a leg attack and scored. Georgina countered (with the Polish athlete 5-2 ahead) and pinned her after getting control in the scramble”.

In her second match (Quarterfinals,) Georgina encountered Sabira Aliyeva (Bronze medallist at 2018 Senior European Championships).

Georgina performed well and wasn’t too far away from the Aliyeva in terms of class. Georgina is definitely making progress and closing the gap with the other 76kg wrestlers out on the international circuit.
