Tamyra Mensah-Stock made Olympics wrestling history by becoming the first Black American woman to win a gold medal in the sport. Now, she aims to inspire a young generation of athletes
The world champion had capped her Olympic debut with a gold medal in the women's freestyle light heavyweight category on Tuesday and said she was ready for her new role in life.
"Take Kennedy Blades for example. She can see herself on the stage and go, 'she did this. Why can't I do it? She looks just like me. This is possible.' I want to be an inspiration to as many people as I can." The 28-year-old American first had to overpower Rio 2016 champion Sara Dosho of Japan, then beat China's Zhou Feng who she had lost to twice before, and then eliminate Ukraine's 2018 world champion Alla Cherkasova.
