Reigning Olympic gold medalist Amit Elor is back on the mat and hungrier than ever after the birth of her son, Aryeh, this past January.

It’s crazy for me that I had a baby so recently, and I'm already back chasing my third world title.

I definitely think that mom strength is a real thing. I came into the competition very driven, very hungry to compete … It is incredibly hard and rewarding. It has made me so much stronger.

Adeline Gray has definitely been an inspiration for me. She had twins, came back and won a world bronze medal. She is the coolest, toughest mom I know in the wrestling world.

It would mean the world to me to have him in the stands at LA28. I hope to inspire him to have the mentality that no matter what you pursue, you always do your very best.

I want him to know that he helped me continue to chase my dreams. He was right there by my side throughout the whole journey, and it just made everything so much better.
