Who is Aman Sehrawat- India's latest bronze medalist in Wrestling

Aman is a product of the famed Chhatrasal Stadium in Delhi, which has produced multiple Olympic wrestling medalists like Sushil Kumar, Bajrang Punia, Yogeshwar Dutt, and Ravi Dahiya.

Training at the Chhatrasal since the age of 10 years, Aman became the first-ever Indian wrestler to secure a gold medal in the U23 Wrestling Championships.

With medals in various international tournaments, Aman was hailed as the successor of Tokyo Olympic silver medalist Ravi Dahiya.

Earlier in the year, Aman defeated Ravi Dahiya in the Olympic trials to book his berth for the qualifying tournaments. Later, he booked his berth via the world qualifiers.

His success is attributed to his inspiration from two-time Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar.
