Indian wrestler Aman Sehrawat is on the cusp of Olympic glory. After a hard-fought journey, he now stands poised to compete in the bronze medal match in the men’s 57kg freestyle wrestling category at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Aman Sehrawat to aim for Bronze
Aman Sehrawat faced a formidable opponent in the semi-finals—top-seeded Japanese wrestler Rei Higuchi, a former world champion and silver medalist from the Rio 2016 Olympics. Despite a valiant effort, Aman lost 10-0, setting the stage for his bronze medal quest.
Earlier in the tournament, Aman showcased his prowess. He cruised past Macedonia’s Vladimir Egorov with a commanding 10-0 technical superiority in the round of 16. In the quarter-finals, he defeated Albania’s Zelimkhan Abakarov, a former world champion and fourth seed, by an impressive 12-0 scoreline.
Aman Sehrawat will face Puerto Rico’s Darian Cruz in the bronze medal showdown. Cruz, a bronze medalist from the Pan American Games, brings his own tenacity and skill to the mat.
When and Where to Watch:
The bout is scheduled to begin at approximately 9:45 PM IST at the Champ-de-Mars Arena in Paris. Indian viewers can catch the action live on the Sports18 Network TV channels or stream it for free on the JioCinema app and website.
