As she processed winning an Olympic gold medal, American wrestler Amit Elor still felt like that little girl just starting out in the sport.

Perhaps it's because she's not so far removed from that point.

Elor, just 20 years old, defeated Kyrgyzstan's Meerim Zhumanazarova 3-0 on Tuesday in the 68-kilogram final at the Paris Games to become the youngest Olympic wrestling gold medalist in U.S. history.

"I'm still in disbelief," she said. "I think I have a little bit of impostor syndrome."
