Aman's victory at the Paris Olympics was nothing short of remarkable. Making his Olympic debut, the 21-year-old secured the bronze medal with a commanding 13-5 victory over Puerto Rico's Darian Cruz, earning India its first wrestling medal at the 2024 Games. In a post-match interview with ANI, Aman expressed his disbelief and joy. "I am very happy, and I still can't believe that I have won a medal for the country at the Olympics... I was hoping for the gold, but I am happy with bronze as well," he shared, his words brimming with pride.
The young wrestler, now a national hero, described standing on the Olympic podium as a "speechless moment" and revealed his future aspirations. "From today, my next target will be to prepare for the 2028 Olympics and the 2026 Asian Games," Aman declared, setting his sights on even greater achievements.
Aman's journey to the bronze was hard-fought. Although his opponent, Darian Cruz, initially gained the lead with a single-leg hold, Aman quickly turned the tide. With determination and skill, he targeted Cruz's shoulders, securing crucial points. As the match progressed, Aman regained control, ultimately winning with technical superiority. With 37 seconds left, he sealed the victory as Cruz's desperate move resulted in another point for Aman.
Aman Sehrawat's bronze medal win is a testament to his dedication and talent, and it has undoubtedly made the entire nation proud. His story continues to inspire, with the Indian film fraternity and millions of fans eagerly awaiting his future triumphs.
