Fifth place

It’s been quite a crazy day.

Maia first wrestled girl who ended up winning the number two position. The girl was quite amazing and Maia was pinned in the second round.

She next wrestled the girl that ended up as number three. She dominated the first round and was ahead 2:0. In the second round she was ahead 5:2 when the girl managed to pin her. We all very disappointed since we thought Maia could beat this girl.

But Maia doesn’t give up easily and in her last match for the fifth spot, she was ahead 12:2 when she pinned her opponent. On one hand we’re a little disappointed because we thought she could have had the third place, but on the other hand, this is nationals. The girls here both good athletes, and impressive wrestlers.

Fifth place in the nation ain’t bad.

I’m still a very proud dad. Both for maia’s amazing wrestling skills and her great attitude.

I’ll try to put up more photos and maybe a couple of movies in the next couple of days when we’re back home.
