U.S. female wrestler relives gold in new documentary
Helen Maroulis was knocked out of women’s wrestling altogether due to injuries.
Come Thursday, the Olympic gold medalist will have her fight through a career-ending injury after the sport’s first gold medal for a woman shown once more in the new film, “Helen Believe.”
She defeated three-time Olympic champion Saori Yoshida at the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil to earn the title. This is on top of numerous wins across the world, including a World Championship, World Cup Championship and Pan American Championship, among other accomplishments.
Chris Pratt produced a new documentary about Maroulis’ journey and it’s set to premiere Thursday across the country as part of a one-night showing in 700 theaters. It originally aired at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. LUKE ZAHLMAN, THE GAZETTE
