Dolgorjav has wrestled and placed in the last three world championships; bronze in 2021, and silver in both 2022 and 2023.
In both of her World finals, Dolgorjav was beaten by Yui Susaki,…
Hildebrandt will begin her campaign at the 2024 Paris Olympics against Ibtisem Doudou from Algeria in the pre-quarterfinals today (August 6).
Hilderbrandt is a multiple World Championship medalist. She won two consecutive bronze medals at the 2022 and the 2023 World Championships. The 30-year-old grappler from Granger, Indiana would love to change that color in the French capital but her journey will be far from easy.
In 2013, Hildebrandt represented the United States at the Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia without winning a medal.
In 2016, she competed in the 55 kg event at the World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Hungary without winning a medal.
She lost her first match against Mayu Mukaida of Japan and she entered the repechage where she lost her match against Ramóna Galambos of Hungary. In 2017, at the Golden Grand Prix Ivan Yarygin 2017 held in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, she won the silver medal in the women’s 55 kg event.
