Tatyana Amanzhol
From Kazakhstan Encyclopedia
Tatyana Amanzhol (also Tatyana Bakatyuk, Template:Lang-kk; born October 17, 1985 in Almaty) is an amateur Kazakh freestyle wrestler, who played for the women's flyweight category.[1] In 2009, Bakatyuk won a gold medal for the 51 kg class at the Asian Wrestling Championships in Pattaya, Thailand, and at the FILA Golden Grand Prix in Baku, Azerbaijan.[2]
Bakatyuk represented Kazakhstan at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's 48 kg class. She defeated Germany's Alexandra Engelhardt and El Salvador's Íngrid Medrano in the preliminary rounds, before losing out the semi-final match to Canada's Carol Huynh, who was able to score five points in two straight periods, leaving Bakatyuk without a single point.[3][4] Because her opponent advanced further into the final, Bakatyuk automatically qualified for the bronze medal bout, where she was defeated by Azerbaijan's Mariya Stadnik, with a technical score of 1–10.[5]
