India's 21-year-old wrestler Aman Sehrawat has made a mark in the Paris Olympics. Aman Sehrawat won the bronze medal in the 57 kg category wrestling. Aman fulfilled his dream of winning an Olympic medal by defeating Puerto Rico's Darian Cruz 13-5. This was Aman's first Olympics, born in Jhajjar, Haryana, and in his debut itself, he did a feat that every athlete dreams of. It was not at all easy for Aman to win this medal. This player won one-sidedly in the first two matches, but then in the semi-final bout, the Japanese wrestler defeated him. It seemed that this player would not be able to make a comeback now, but Aman did not make any mistake in the bronze medal and he won the sixth medal for the country. Not only this, with this victory, this player also left behind champion players like Manu Bhaker and Neeraj Chopra.

Aman Sahrawat's great feat

Neeraj Chopra won the silver medal in the Paris Olympics, Manu Bhaker got two bronze medals but Aman Sehrawat has defeated these two giants as well. Actually Aman Sehrawat has won the Olympic medal at the age of just 21 years. He has become the youngest Indian to win an individual Olympic medal. This record was in the name of Manu Bhaker, who won the Olympic medal at the age of 22.

Aman's story is painful

This story of Aman winning the Olympic medal is very painful. The pain is such that if any common man realizes it, then believe me, he will be broken from inside. Aman lost his parents at a very young age. Aman's mother died of a heart attack and within just 6 months his father also died. Aman was raised by his grandfather Mangeram Sehrawat. Amidst financial crisis, this player reached Chhatrasal Stadium in Delhi where he trained with legendary wrestlers. Aman's idol is two-time Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar, but he saw Ravi Dahiya, who won the silver medal in Tokyo Olympics, very closely and also learned many tricks from him. The big thing is that this player qualified for the Paris Olympics by defeating Ravi Dahiya and now Aman has also won the medal.
