Tamyra Mensah-Stock Becomes 1st U.S. Black Woman To Win Wrestling Gold (Tokyo Olympics)
On Tuesday, American freestyle wrestler Tamyra Mensah-Stock made history in Tokyo.
Not only did she take gold for just the second time in Olympic history for Team USA’s women’s wrestling, Mensah-Stock became the first Black woman to win gold at an Olympic Games in the sport since it was added as an event in 2004.
Mensah-Stock defeated second-seed Blessing Oborududu 4-1 after seizing points with two takedowns in the first period. Neither athlete scored a point in the second period despite Oborududu’s increasingly desperate attempts.
Both athletes make history
By winning silver, Oborududu became the first Nigerian athlete to win an Olympic medal in wrestling.
After the match, Mensah-Stock, 28, commented on the historic elements of her final with Oborududu.
“I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, look at us representing,’ ” Mensah-Stock said, according to The Associated Press. “It’s so freaking awesome. You’re making history, I’m making history. We’re making history. So it meant a lot.”
She also spoke about her desire to inspire Black girls to pursue wrestling and her family’s heritage in Ghana, where her father was from. Mensah-Stock lost her father while she was in high school — he died in a car crash coming home from a wrestling meet, according to Team USA.
“He would have been the loudest one here,” she said. “He would have been so proud.”
