Helen Maroulis is a legend in the sport of wrestling and a trailblazer within the Olympic movement. A Maryland native, Maroulis was already one of the nation’s best women’s wrestlers while still in high school. A four-time WCWA national champion in college, Maroulis went on to win age-group and Senior World medals for Team USA.
She made history at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, defeating three-time Olympic champion Saori Yoshida of Japan in the gold-medal finals to become the first U.S. woman to win an Olympic gold medal in wrestling.
The movie tells the story about what happened after her breathtaking Olympic victory, and her battle to overcome tremendous obstacles to return to competition at the highest levels.
This film is produced by Religion of Sports, Reserve Entertainment, and Chris Pratt’s Indivisible Productions.
