KLIPPAN, Sweden – The U.S. earned a gold medal at the 2026 Klippan Lady Open, with 2023 U.S. World Team member Emma Bruntil posting a 3-0 record at 65 kg in the Senior women’s freestyle division.

 

In her first international appearance since taking fifth place at the 2023 World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, Bruntil looked strong with a pair of technical fall wins in the preliminary rounds, followed by a 4-3 decision over Agnes Nygren of Sweden in the gold medal match. Nygren was seventh at last year’s U23 World Championships, providing Bruntil with a good barometer in her return to competition.

 

Two others took the mats for Team USA this weekend at the Klippan Hall of Sports—2022 U.S. National Team member Lauren Stoker at 59 kg and Avery Steldt of Wisconsin at 55 kg. Both women lost in the opening round and were not eligible to wrestle back for a medal.

 

Complete results from the Klippan Lady Open Senior division tournament are available below.

 

An archived broadcast of the event is available on the Master Film Sweden YouTube channel.
