Club to Honor Olympic Wrestler

The Club will recognize the sporting success of Japanese wrestler Saori Yoshida at an evening presentation ceremony in the Winter Garden on October 26.

The 35-year-old will receive the Club’s Sports Lifetime Achievement Award for her remarkable accomplishments in the world of freestyle wrestling, including three Olympic gold medals, one Olympic silver and 13 world championship titles.

The most recent recipients of the Sports Lifetime Achievement Award, which was established in 1995, were Masato Mizuno and Tsunekazu Takeda, who led Tokyo’s 2020 Olympic bid.
