Wrestler Ilana Kratysh registered Israel's first medal at the inaugural European Games in Baku.

Kratysh, 24, claimed the silver medal in the women’s 69-kilogram freestyle wrestling competition.

She marked her return from a knee injury by beating Olympic champion Natalia Vorobeva of Russia in the semi-finals.

Having accounted for the former European champion, Kratysh eventually met her match in the final, where she was beaten 3-1 by Alina Stadnik Makhynia of the Ukraine.
