Wrestler Lisette Böttker takes U-17 bronze
Lisette Böttker took bronze at the Under 17 World Wrestling Championships in Amman, Jordan.
Wrestling in the -53 kg weight category, Böttker had seen off three opponents in the opening round, the round of 16 and the quarter finals, booking her place in the semi-finals. However, she lost the semi-final bout against Nana Kozuka (Japan) 10:0, but was still eligible for the bronze playoff bout.
Böttker faced Russian competitor Olesja Malahhova and turned things around from a 0-4 deficit to win, just over a minute into the bout.
Kozuka did not prevail in the final and was defeated by Kaura Michelle Coles (Canada).
