Padilla won a gold medal at 55 kg/121 lbs., the top performance among U.S. wrestlers at the Grand Prix of Tourcoing on Feb. 26 in Tourcoing, France.

Padilla defeated Brittany Laverdure of Canada in the gold-medal finals, 3-0, 3-0. She also won a big semifinal match over 2010 Asian champion Senlian Yang of China.

Padilla, a two-time World bronze medalist in women’s freestyle wrestling, competed at a high level throughout the event.
