Paris Olympics 2024: Indian grappler Aman Sehrawat lost 0-10 in his semi-final bout against Japanese top seed and World Champion Rei Higuchi in men's 57 kg freestyle category. Sehrawat was a win away from securing a silver medal and advancing to the gold medal match, but after the loss, he will now compete in the bronze medal match.
Aman Sehrawat is one of the most promising young wrestlers from India, and carries a huge chip on his shoulder. The 21-year old is the Asian champion in the 57kg freestyle category (2023), and also managed to bag a bronze medal in the same category at 2022 Asian Games.

Aman Sehrawat has not changed his weight category since 2022, and given the momentum he has, India can hope for more laurels to follow-in in the near future.
