在北京时间8月23日下午进行的女子72公斤级自由式摔跤半决赛中，19岁的中国小将王旭不畏强手，击败本级别夺冠呼声最高的日本选手滨口京子，晋级决赛。王旭的表现令全场观众刮目相看。新华社报道如下：Wang Xu, a teenaged high school student from China, completed a mission-impossible when she defeated five-time world champion Kyoko Hamaguchi of Japan en route to winning a women's freestyle wrestling gold medal at the Olympic Games on Monday. Freestyle wrestling的意思是“自由式摔跤”。动词wrestle的意思是“与人搏斗、扭成一团”。例如：She wrestled with her attacker.（她跟袭击她的人扭打）。She wrestled him to the ground.（她把他摔倒在地上）。
