Victoria Anthony (Photo/Larry Slater)NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Three U.S. women claimed gold medals on the first day of the Bill Farrell Memorial International at the New York Athletic Club on Thursday.
In a battle of past Junior World champions at 48 kilograms/105.5 pounds, two-time Junior World champion Victoria Anthony (Tempe, Ariz./Sunkist Kids) dominated 2011 Junior World champion Marika Shidocki of Japan in the finals, scoring a pin at 5:50. Anthony, a 2013 World Team member, was leading 7-2 when she tossed and pinned Shidocki.
"I had to get going with my motion, knowing I am not going to get my shots right away, but motion all the time. Wrestling a Japanese girl, whenever you get a chance to wrestle one, they all wrestle pretty similar with their movement. It is great to be here. Spain was my last tournament (in the summer) and it's November now, so I have been waiting a lot for this," said Anthony.
