WATCH: Helen Maroulis, the comeback queen

ZAGREB, Croatia (November 17) — Helen MAROULIS (USA), who last won gold at World Championships in 2021, came to Zagreb as one of the favorites to win gold at 57kg.

However, the 2016 Olympic champion wasn’t the favorite.

Maroulis reached the final in Zagreb at 57kg rather easily. Facing Il Sim SON (PRK) in the final, Maroulis was down 2-1 and needed a magic move for a win.

With barely 10 seconds remaining in the final, Maroulis hit a trip to get a takedown and win the final 3-2, claiming her fourth world title.

The win marked a crucial point in Maroulis’ career as she had thought of calling it time on her career but decided to return at the Budapest Ranking Series in July and became a world champion in September.
