Here we go  

 

I am so excited for this, 5th consecutive gold in an individual event would be insane  (and a piece of sports history that would very, very much fly under the radar here)

Dumb question, but is there a 'one move finish' as well here, like ippon in judo? And is that common?  

 

I believe something with being pinned, but you know....3 years ago since I watched.

Yes, there is a pinfall, when you wrestle your opponent's shoulder to the mat.

Thanks! I'll gladly be answering dumb speed skating questions in the Winter Olympics, but here I'm the one asking them

Indeed, that 4 point carry and throw was fantastic. Still consider her the underdog against the American.
