Alex Kessidis, Bogdan Kourinnoi and Sofia Mattsson. Three nights in a row, Swedish wrestlers have won the European bronze medal.

Tonight, Friday, the fourth bronze money came on the carpet in Rome.

Johanna Lindborg managed to win the bronze match in the 57-kilo class through victory in the re-qualification. Once there, the Russian Marina Simonjan stood for the resistance, third in the U23 World Cup in August last year.

21-year-old Lindborg, a contestant for Helsingborg, took an early 3-0 lead and looked to control the match.

But Simonjan came back and led by 4-3 after rolling the Swedish. Strengthened by the turn, the Russian went on the offensive again with less than a minute left of the match, but Lindborg managed to get out of a tough leg and had 6-4 at the final signal.

A protest from the Russian camp that was rejected by the judging team gave a final score of 7-4 and the fourth straight bronze medal was a fact.
