Alina Hrushyna Akobiia (UKR) vs Elvira Kamaloglu (TUR) - Final // Matteo Pellicone 2022

In the first period of the 57kg finals, Hrushyna snapped Elvira Kamaloglu (TUR) down to the mat and worked on a front headlock for nearly 40 seconds before getting to the corner and picking up her first takedown. After a minute of scoreless action, Hrushyna went back to her front headlock and picked up a second go-behind takedown. With less than a minute to go in the first frame, Hrushyna brought Kamaloglu down to all fours with two-on-one. Then, as the reigning European champ’s Turkish opponent tried building back up to her feet, Hrushyna used an underhook throw-by to put four additional points on the board, increasing her lead to 8-0. There was some confusion after the first, as Hrushyna’s corner thought there should have been another set of two awarded. The refs came together and white-paddled the two in question, keeping Hrushyna’s lead to 8-0.
