Haryana's Aman Sehrawat Dominates in Paris Olympics

Haryana's Aman Sehrawat has continued his impressive run at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The 21-year-old wrestler has booked a spot in the semifinals of the 57kg event after registering a commanding 12-0 victory over his Albanian opponent in the quarterfinals. 

Earlier, Sehrawat had defeated Vladimir Igorov of North Macedonia 10-0 to secure his place in the quarterfinals. His semifinal bout is scheduled for later tonight, around 9:30 PM.

Sehrawat is the only male wrestler from India to have qualified for the Paris Olympics. His performance has been a testament to his skill, determination, and the support he has received from his family. 

Anshu Malik Loses Opening Bout but Remains in Medal Contention In another event, Anshu Malik, Haryana's other wrestling prodigy, suffered a defeat in her opening bout. The 22-year-old lost to Helene Marcouiller of the United States 7-2 in the 57kg category.

However, Anshu's Olympic dream is not over yet. In wrestling, the repechage round provides an opportunity for athletes who have lost in the earlier rounds to compete for the bronze medal. Anshu will now have a chance to redeem herself and secure a spot on the podium. 

Anshu Malik is making her second consecutive appearance at the Olympics, having represented India in Tokyo 2020 as well. Her journey has been inspired by her family's deep-rooted connection with the sport of wrestling.

With the semifinal and repechage rounds still to come, the Haryana wrestlers' performance has once again highlighted the state's rich wrestling legacy and the potential of its athletes to excel on the biggest stage.
