Helen Maroulis, the first American woman to win a wrestling gold medal, has qualified for her third Summer Olympic Games, making her the first US female wrestler to achieve this milestone. The two-time Olympic medalist secured her spot on the American team for Paris by defeating former Olympian Jacarra Winchester in a best-of-three series. All six women who earned spots on the U.S. team for Paris qualify directly for the Olympic tournament, avoiding an international qualifying tournament.
