The "Good Luck Beijing" 2007 Junior World Wrestling Championships wrapped up the women's freestyle events today as in the final of the women's 72kg freestyle, China's Wang Jiao beat Ekaterina Bukina of Russia to win the gold and helped China notch up the team title.

Ekaterina Bukina, who was the bronze medalist in the event at the last junior world championships, didn't show fight tonight as China's Wang won two straight periods 7-0 and 4-2 to claim the gold.

In the match vying for the third place, Bae Ip-sae of the Republic of Korea took just 35 seconds to beat her counterpart Jenny Fransson of Sweden.

The other bronze went to Vashchuk of Ukraine.
