Azerbaijani wrestler Maria Stadnik (50 kg) has won her first international tournament in 2023.

Multiple Olympic medalist, two-time world champion and eight-time European champion became the winner of the Dan Kolov & Nikola Petrov Tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria, Azernews reports.

The multiple winner of the Olympic Games, World and European Championships defeated the Kazakh wrestler Svetlana Ankicheva in 35 seconds.
