Aman Sehrawat brought home India’s sixth medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, adding a bronze to the nation’s impressive haul. He secured the victory in the men’s freestyle 57kg wrestling category, defeating Puerto Rico’s Darian Toi Cruz with a score of 13-5 at the Champ-de-Mars Arena on Friday. This accomplishment cemented India’s third-best Olympic performance ever, with a total of five bronze medals and a silver, which was won by Neeraj Chopra in the men’s Javelin Throw final.
While India’s athletics team showcased their prowess, the men’s 4x400m relay team narrowly missed out on qualifying for the finals despite setting a personal best of 3:00.58. Their fourth-place finish in Heat 1 wasn’t enough to secure a spot in the final race.
India’s success at the Paris Olympics continues to inspire and demonstrate the nation’s growing strength on the global sporting stage.
