Indian wrestler Aman Sehrawat stands on the brink of Olympic glory as he prepares to face Puerto Rico’s Darian Cruz in the bronze medal match of the men’s freestyle 57 kg category at the Paris Olympics on August 9. The 21-year-old, India’s only male wrestler in the competition, has showcased exceptional skill and determination on his Olympic journey.
Sehrawat’s path to the bronze medal match was marked by dominant victories, including a 10-0 win against former European champion Vladimir Egorov in the round of 16, followed by a 12-0 triumph over fourth-seed Zelimkhan Abakarov, a former world champion from Albania, in the quarter-finals. However, his momentum was halted in the semifinals by Japan’s top-seeded wrestler, Rei Higuchi, who is a former world champion and Rio 2016 Olympic silver medallist.
As he gears up for his crucial bout against Darian Cruz, a seasoned competitor with three Pan American Championship medals to his name, Sehrawat is just one match away from bringing home another Olympic medal for India.
