Tuvan female wrestler Lorisa Oorjak, 21, performing in the lightest weight category - 48 kg, brought the third gold medal to Russian national team at the European Championships in Sofia. Russian women team totalling 65 points - 4 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals - won the first place in the team competition. Second is the team of Ukraine with 50 points, third – Germany with 39.
Fresh after the last combat Lorisa Oorjak said: 'I am very exited and it was hard for me to give a meaning to what I have done. I was prepared for a gold medal despite the knee injure I had before the competition.
Due to that, I was rather cautious, but had the feeling of being superior over all my opponents here. Honestly it was rather easy for me here, but at the Worlds I am expecting much more tough combats vs. the colleagues from China and USA'.
