It’s about that time! In the past couple of weeks, we’ve spent time loosely discussing Final X; however, it’s time to start talking about the individual matches themselves. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll break down all 20 Final X matchups - leading into the event itself on June 14th, from Newark, New Jersey.
Our next preview is in women’s freestyle at 57 kg - Helen Maroulis against Amanda Martinez. In the Final X Quick Thoughts article, we wondered when Maroulis would finally slow down. She’s nearly 34 years old and has been competing on the Senior level since 2008, so you’d think maybe sometime soon. Maybe? Martinez isn’t worried about the status of Maroulis’ historic career, she’s looking to establish herself as a first-time Senior World team member - after making a U23 team four years ago.
