"aman-sehrawat"

Olympic bronze medallist Aman Sehrawat and Sujeet won gold in the 61kg and 65kg freestyle categories at the Senior National Wrestling Championship in Ahmedabad. RSPB lifted the Championship Trophy with 160 points, ahead of SSCB and Haryana

Aman became the youngest Indian medal winner at the Summer Games when he bagged the bronze in men’s 57 kg freestyle wrestling

Aman entered the Olympics with hopes of winning gold, but his bronze medal is still a significant achievement. "I'm very happy and want to dedicate this medal to the country," Aman said. "Though I aimed for gold and was defeated in the semifinals, winning a medal on my Olympic debut is still special."

India now have five bronze medals and a silver, which javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra bagged on Thursday.

Aman, who had raised hopes of securing a place in the final following two big victories against celebrated opponents in the earlier rounds, was no match for the 28-year-old Higuchi -- the 2016 Rio Olympics silver medallist.

This was Aman's second successive win via technical superiority. Earlier, he defeated European Championships gold medallist Vladimir Egorov of North Macedonia to make it to the last-eight stage

Aman won his opening bout on technical superiority (10-0) with two minutes to go in the second period to secure his quarter-finals berth

Sehrawat, the U23 world champion, secured India's sixth wrestling quota for the Paris 2024 Olympics by defeating Chongsong Han of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea 12-2 in the semi-final.
