Aman Sehrawat, who made his Olympic debut, secured the medal with a 13-5 win over Puerto Rico’s Darian Cruz on Friday, marking India’s first wrestling medal at the Paris 2024 Games.
After the win, Aman spoke to ANI and said that he still couldn’t believe that he had won a medal for his country.
“I am very happy and I still can’t believe that I have won a medal for the country at the Olympics… I was expecting gold but I am happy with the bronze as well…” said Aman.
The 21-year-old wrestler added that it was a “speechless” moment after standing on the Olympic podium. The youngster further added that his next focus will be to prepare for the 2026 Asian Games and the 2028 Olympics.
“It was a speechless moment when I stood on the podium… From today onwards, my next goal will be to prepare for the 2028 Olympic Games and the 2026 Asian Games,” she added.
During the match, the Puerto Rican fighter initially took the lead by securing a point with a leg lock. However, Aman came back strong, scoring points by targeting Darian Cruz’s shoulders.
After Darian Cruz took the lead with a two-point move, Aman regained control. With 37 seconds remaining, Aman secured additional points and won the fight with technical superiority when Darian Cruz attempted a desperation move and conceded another point.
