Saori Yoshida won her third successive Olympic gold to maintain Japan’s dominance of women’s Freestyle Wrestling at London 2012. Yoshida beat Canada’s Tonya Lynn Verbeek 3-0 2-0 in tonight’s final of the 55kg weight category. Verbeek was looking to add gold to her collection of Olympic silver and bronze medals, but the 34-year-old could not handle Yoshida, who was roared on by a raucous Japanese following at the ExCeL.
