Winnipegger battles through partially torn MCL to claim U20 wrestling world title

Taylor Allen 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:16 PM CDT

Kaura Coles admits she’s not the strongest, fastest or most athletic amateur wrestler.

But that hasn’t stopped the 19-year-old from Winnipeg from becoming the best in the world.

Coles, representing London-Western Wrestling Club out of London, Ont., won gold in the 53-kg division at the U20 World Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia, on Aug. 19.

She’s only the fifth Canadian to win a U20 world title.
