Jenny Fransson made an impressive turn in the quarterfinals against Battsetseg Soronzobold from Mongolia. And she followed it up with yet another turn as she defeated reigning world champion Alla Cherkasova in the semi-finals.
Both turns make league captain Sara Dikanda believe in Fransson, no matter how the finals go.
- She can gain confidence from the last two matches where you really get an extra boost and confidence. She can feel that she continued to pick points and that it is not over until it is over, and continue on that wave with energy and confidence, she tells SVT Sport.
In the final, American waiter Tamyra Mensah waits, and it is a wrestler with a completely different style than Fransson.
- The American dives a lot. Jenny has a slightly different wrestling style with a lot of strength.
"Doesn't matter who she meets"Fransson and Mensah have wrestled several times before, and you can't find a clear favorite if you just look at the previous matches. But it doesn't matter, according to Dikanda, who believes in Fransson after her fine efforts on the way to the final.
- If you look at the matches Fransson has done here before, it doesn't really matter who she meets. She has the attitude that she should take it match after match. She has incredible focus and winning skull. Her attitude is to go for the gold, of course.
