CHENNAI: India’s campaign at the Paris Olympics 2024 is drawing to a close and it was a great end on day 14 as Wrestler Aman Sehrawat defeated Puerto Rico's Darian Cruz 13-5 to win bronze medal in the men's 57kg freestyle event. This is India's sixth medal in the ongoing Games.
The 21-year-old wrestler from Haryana won bronze medal in his first outing in Olympics. And after many battles Indian wrestlers faced in the event, Aman gave a great finish to the Paris Campaign for the Indian contingents. With his win, the tradition of Indian wrestlers bringing home medal from Olympics since 2008 continues.
