ADELINE GRAY AND HELEN MAROULIS ATTEMPT TO WIN TEAM USA’S FIRST GOLD IN WOMEN’S WRESTLING

Adeline Gray was a strong candidate for the 2012 London Games, but her 67kg (148 lbs) weight class was not an Olympic division at the time. Forced to drop down to a lower weight class, Gray shed 30 pounds in order to compete in the Olympic Trials, but only managed a runner-up finish and did not qualify.

After a tough defeat in the final round of the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2012, Helen Maroulis bounced back to attain a world #1 ranking in her weight class. In the ramp-up to the Rio Olympics, the six-time national champion finally broke through for her first career world title in 2015.

HOW TO SEE IT: Gray and Maroulis hope to win for the U.S., which has never had a woman win an Olympic gold in wrestling. Catch the elimination rounds coverage live online beginning at 9 a.m. ET.
