Wrestler Dominique Parrish, a Scotts Valley native, celebrates winning the freestyle title at 53 kilograms at the Senior World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, in Sept.. PARIS — On the East Coast, they’re bracing for the rain and flooding of tropical storm Gabby. Meanwhile, Team USA wrestler Helen Maroulis last week put the media on high alert about a different kind of storm about to hit Paris.
Parrish suspects part of the reason she won gold at the 2022 World Wrestling Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, was because few other wrestlers had notes on her. She hadn’t wrestled much internationally and online video footage of her matches was sparse. That wasn’t the case a year later, when she fell out in the qualifying rounds.
Maroulis, 32, broke a seal for the Americans in 2016 with her win at 53kg. Parrish and Maroulis both wrestled for Simon Fraser University and Parrish said she remembers exactly where she was during that historic performance. For the time being, though, Japan remains the powerhouse in women’s wrestling. A Japanese athlete ranks among the top three in six of World Wrestling’s eight women’s weight categories. At the Tokyo Olympics, they won four of the six gold medals.
Scotts Valley High junior Domino Parrish has her hand raised in victory after she won the Central Coast Section title at 116 pounds in San Jose in 2014. Parrish, meanwhile, wanted nothing to do with the sport even though her father was a coach and former competitor. What turned her off, she said, was seeing her older sister get pinned. Nope, she thought, not for me.
