Hungary's Marianna Sastin wins gold in the women's 60kg freestyle wrestling at the European Games.

Marianna Sastin has won Hungary's third gold medal of the European Games after victory in the women's 60kg freestyle wrestling.

The Hungarian, who came second in the 2013 World Championships, defeated Russian Federation's Svetlana Liptova 3-0 on points

Sastin overcame Oksana Herhel in the semi-final, while silver-medallist Liptova was victorious over Giedre Blekaityte en route to the final.

Both losing semi-finalists missed out on bronze, with Blekaityte falling to a heavy 5-0 defeat to Belarus' Veranika Ivanova, while Herhel also failed in her medal attempts, losing to Bulgaria's Taybe Yusein.

The gold means Hungary leapfrog France into sixth in the medals table.
