CHINESE WOMAN DOMINATE DOHA

DOHA: The Chinese women’s wrestling team led by Asian Games champion
Zhou Feng rolled past their continental competition on Friday at the
Aspire Academy, earning four of five gold medals and jumping out to a
small lead over Japan in the team race.

Zhou, who is ranked No.2 in the world at 75kg, looked the sharpest of
her career, easily dealing with a talented Elmira Syzdykova
(Kazakhstan) in the finals, 11-0 in easy win.

The 2014 Asian championship runner-up improved on last year’s finish
after racking up a pair of four-point moves to help her secure the
first period technical fall and first Asian championship win.

The title was Zhou’s third in eight months, having won the prestigious
Klippan women’s tournament in February, also at 69kg, and the
aforementioned 2014 Asian Games title at 75kg fight.

Zhou’s performance capped an impressive night for the Chinese, who
started the finals with Zhong Xue Chun (China) taking gold at 53kg.

Zhong started on her heels, defending a single leg attack by an
aggressive Yong Mi Pak (North Korea) before finding a defensive
takedown. After the early setback Zhong – ranked No.3 at 53kg – was
able to secure four-straight gut wrenches to win with by a 10-0
technical fall.

The Asian championship is Zhong’s second title of 2015 having won the
Paris Grand Prix in February.

At 55kg Japan earned their only gold medal of the night as Anri Kimura
(Japan) made quick work of Kum Han (North Korea).

The Japanese wrestler gave up a two-point exposure off her opening
double leg, but on second attempt found the takedown and improvised
arm bar to secure the fall midway through the first period. The title
was Japan’s third in women’s wrestling at the Aspire Dome.
