Moldovan wrestler Irina Rîngaci took second place at the "Polyák Imre and Varga János Memorial" Ranking Series international tournament, held from July 17-20 in Budapest, the capital of Hungary.

Competing in the 65 kg category, Irina Rîngaci first defeated Ekaterina Koshkina, an athlete competing under a neutral flag who withdrew due to injury. She then achieved a dominant 10:0 victory against Hungary's Eniko Elekes.

In the final, Irina faced off against Norway's Grace Bullen, where she lost with a score of 10:16. Her performance at this memorial event also served as preparation for this autumn's World Championships. The competition will take place in Zagreb, Croatia, from September 13-21.
