		Patricia Miranda's arm is raised triumphantly after she won at the U.S. Olympic Trials held in May in Indianapolis, Ind.
		No longer is Miranda referred to as "a joke," as she was in the 11th grade by a heckling spectator in the bleachers.
		Miranda started the season fourth on the depth chart, but cracked the lineup when the three men ahead of her for various reasons were unable to compete.

		Miranda, who wrestled her way into Stanford University's men's lineup as a senior, was trying to put Merleni in a headlock when Merleni reversed the hold and took her to the back for a 4-0 lead in less than 30 seconds.
		Miranda, pushing hard to come back, was attempting to work a tilt early in the second period when the faster and technically smoother Merleni again reversed her and turned her for a three-point, making it 9-0.
		Miranda was to wrestle Angelique Berthenet of France later Monday for the bronze; Berthenet lost 12-1 to Chiharu Icho.

		Miranda's desire to compete in the Olympics has even caused her to ask for a two-year deferment after getting accepted into Yale Law School.
		Miranda spent several years getting drilled in practice only to see no playing time in matches, but she stuck with it and finally received her opportunity to wrestle as a 125-pounder her senior year.

		Although Miranda had to fight for her place on the mat, her coaches say she could do for wrestling what Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain did for women's soccer, and inspire waves of grade-school girls to wrestle as they do in Japan and Canada.

		"Patricia was dealing with huge weight discrepancies and the gender issue, but because of it she became the example on the team of how to work hard," he said.
