Alina lost to American Maroulis with a score of 4:7
Ukrainian Alina Grushina-Akobia failed to reach the semi-finals Olympics 2024 By freestyle wrestling in the weight category up to 57 kg.
At the start of the competition, Alina triumphed in a strong-willed style over the fourth seeded Angelina Lysak, a former Ukrainian who has represented Poland since 2020. During the match, Grushina-Jakobiya was losing 5:13, but a number of successful actions led to an emotional victory (16:13).
But in the quarterfinals, Alina faced the winner of the 2016 Olympics in Rio and the winner of the silver medal in Tokyo 2020, American Helen Maroulis. The fifth seed of the games in Paris managed to defeat the Ukrainian with a score of 7:4.
