Aman Sehrawat Bronze Medal Match: Aman had to face a 0-10 defeat at the hands of Japan’s Rei Higuchi in the semi-final match. However, now Aman has brought glory to the country by winning the bronze medal. Aman has become the seventh Indian wrestler to win a medal in the Olympics.

Aman had performed well in the pre-quarterfinals and quarterfinals on Thursday, but lost in a one-sided fashion to top seed Rei Higuchi of Japan in the semi-finals of the men’s 57 kg freestyle category. However, he managed to win the bronze.

Indian wrestler Aman Sehrawat performed brilliantly and won the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics. 21-year-old Aman defeated Puerto Rico’s Darian Toi Cruz by a margin of 13-5 in the bronze medal match. Earlier, Chhatrasal Akhara’s talented wrestler Aman had performed well in the pre-quarterfinals and quarterfinals on Thursday, but lost in a one-sided fashion to top seed Rei Higuchi of Japan in the semi-finals of the men’s 57 kg freestyle category.

Although Aman missed out on securing a medal on Thursday, he performed brilliantly in the bronze medal match and gave the country its sixth medal in the Paris Games. India has so far won a total of six medals including five bronze and one silver in the Paris Olympics.

Aman, who was ahead in the match from the beginning,
was leading 6-3 in the first round itself. In the second round, Aman further extended this lead and did not give Cruz any chance. In this way Aman Sehrawat won. Aman was the only male wrestler from India at the Paris Olympics. However, he maintained the streak of medals in wrestling.

India has been winning medals in wrestling in every Olympics since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Sushil Kumar won bronze in 2008, Sushil won silver in 2012 and Yogeshwar Dutt won bronze, Sakshi Malik won bronze in 2016, Ravi Dahiya won silver and Bajrang Punia won bronze in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

This was Aman’s first Olympics and he has won a bronze medal in his very first Olympics. Aman thus opened India’s medal account in wrestling at the Olympics. He has brought happiness to India, which was in despair after Vinesh Phogat was disqualified.

The post Where is India placed after Manu Bhaker’s historic bronze? appeared first on FIRSTRAY NEWS.

Manu’s passion for sports was evident from a young age. Alongside her interest in sports, she excelled in ‘thang ta,’ a form of martial arts, winning national medals. Her love for shooting was sparked at just 14, shortly after the 2016 Rio Olympics. After trying out multiple sports, Bhaker quickly fell for shooting and, within a week, convinced her father to buy her a sport shooting pistol, setting the stage for her future success.

Her father’s support was unwavering, and Manu soon began making waves in the shooting world. At the 2017 National Shooting Championships, she made headlines by defeating Olympian and former world No. 1 Heena Sidhu with a record score of 242.3 in the 10m Air Pistol category. The same year, she won silver at the Asian Junior Championships.

In 2018, Manu’s talent shone on the international stage. She made her ISSF World Cup debut in Guadalajara, breaking the junior world record in qualification and becoming the youngest Indian to win a gold medal at the ISSF World Cup. Her gold in the women’s 10m Air Pistol at the 2018 Commonwealth Games further cemented her place in shooting history.

Manu qualified for the Tokyo Olympics with a strong performance at the 2019 Munich ISSF World Cup, and she added gold and silver medals in the 10m Air Pistol at the 2021 New Delhi ISSF World Cup. Despite topping the qualification round in Tokyo, a pistol malfunction cost her a medal.

Determined to make her mark, Manu returned with renewed focus for the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she clinched a historic bronze medal in the 10m Air Pistol event, proving her resilience and dedication to the sport.
