NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. women's wrestling needs a leading lady to inspire young girls to embrace the sport, says three-time world champion Adeline Gray, who intends to play that role at the Rio Olympics.

Gray, who missed making the U.S. team for the 2012 London Games, sees herself becoming the first American woman ever to claim Olympic wrestling gold.
