Elor won the gold medal for the United States at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in Women's freestyle wrestling 68 kg at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Champ de Mars. At 20 years of age, she was the youngest female wrestler ever to represent the United States at the Olympics. She had dropped down from the weight class at which she typically competed, 72 kg, because it was not offered on the Olympic program. She said: "I am very concerned about hostility Israeli athletes may receive this summer. Particularly after what happened in the 1972 Munich Olympics, the horrifying attack on October 7, the ongoing war in Israel, and the antisemitism rising all over the world. Israel means a lot to me. It’s my parents’ home and therefore it’s my home, too. She said as well: I was shocked by the October 7 brutal Hamas attack and deeply saddened and concerned about everything that followed. The enormous pain, suffering, and loss is unbearable. If my wrestling at the Olympics can bring even just a little joy in Israel, it will make all the hard work and sacrifices worth it and extra special.
