The second day of the 2014 Oceania Wrestling Championships was completed on Thursday with American Samoa and New Zealand dominating the day in the Greco-Roman competition. The Women competed in Free-Style.

 

American Samoa, in the Cadet Division, earned 3 Golds, 9 Silvers and 7 Bronze Medals. In the Junior Division they walked away with 2 Golds, 8 Silvers and 6 Bronze Medals. In the Senior Division, American Samoa earned 3 Golds, 2 Silvers and 3 Bronze Medals.

 

Samoa News will bring more coverage of the historic event in American Samoa, including results of yesterday, Friday’s events — Men’s Free-Style — in our Monday, Mar. 24, issue.

 

Overall the tournament is turning out well, with only a small incident of unsportsmanlike conduct occurring after a wrestler from American Samoa lost his match and walked off the mat and outside of the venue noisily, during yesterday’s matches.

 

Today is the last day of competition will feature Beach Wrestling, a relatively new style in the world of wrestling.
