‘More pride’: PM Narendra Modi congratulates wrestler Aman Sehrawat for bagging bronze | Paris Olympics 2024 News – Times of India



NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday congratulated wrestler Aman Sehrawat for bagging a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics.
In the men’s 57kg freestyle bronze medal match, Aman convincingly defeated Darian Toi Cruz 13-5, securing the medal.
With the win, Aman became the first Indian wrestler to win a medal in Paris.
Soon after Aman’s win PM Modi hailed the 21-year-old’s dedication and perseverance.

After the Indian wrestling contingent was rocked by controversies in the last two days, relating to Vinesh Phogat and Antim Panghal, Aman’s bronze comes as a great news.
Aman, the U-23 world champion, was the lone Indian male wrestler to qualify for the Paris Games.
Indian wrestlers have not missed a medal at the Olympics since 2008 and Aman’s effort ensured the streak remained unbroken.
After Sushil Kumar won a bronze in Beijing (2008), Yogeshwar Dutt (2012), Sakshi Malik (2016), Ravi Dahiya and Bajrang Punia (2021) followed him, keeping the tradition intact.
