Egorov seemed to be in a bit of bother after the first round, requiring medical attention on his knee following Aman's all-out attack. But the Macedonian could not stage a comeback with Aman effecting a takedown to earn two more points and go 10-0 up with more than two minutes remaining on the clock. Aman's last-four bout will take place later in the day.

Wrestler Aman Sehrawat enters Paris Olympics quarters

Living up to the expectations, <keyword id="20430890" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aman-Sehrawat" source="keywords">Aman Sehrawat</keyword> on Friday bagged the men's 57kg free-style <keyword id="20257145" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bronze-medal" source="keywords">bronze medal</keyword> at the <keyword id="19933819" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Olympics" source="keywords">Olympics</keyword> with a commanding win over Darian Toi Cruz, bringing some cheers to the <keyword id="22736140" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-wrestling-contingent" source="keywords">Indian wrestling contingent</keyword> that has been rocked by controversies. The 21-year-old U-23 world champion was the lone Indian male wrestler to qualify for the Paris Games and he did not disappoint, winning 13-5 in the bronze play-off at Champ de Mars Arena. The sport of wrestling has not missed a medal at the Olympics since 2008 and Aman's effort ensured the streak remained unbroken. Sushil Kumar broke the glass ceiling by winning the bronze in Beijing (2008), and since then Yogeshwar Dutt (2012), Sakshi Malik (2016), Ravi Dahiya and Bajrang Punia (2021) have kept the tradition intact. Aman's effort also helped India win its sixth medal and move closer to the Tokyo Games tally of seven. Antim Panghal (53kg), Anshu Malik (57kg), and Nisha Dahiya (68kg) could not reach the medal rounds in their respective categories. On the other hand, Vinesh Phogat (50kg) lost despite entering the final as she was disqualified from the gold-medal bout for being overweight. The disqualification led to a huge uproar in the country. The decision has been challenged in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The hearing has concluded and a decision is expected by Sunday evening. Teenager Antim Pangal also landed herself in trouble for sending her sister to the Games Village on her accreditation card. She was deported along with her entourage. It was a fast-paced bout with quick moves from the two wrestlers. Once Aman got a measure of his rival, he did not give much of a chance to the Puetro Rican. He build a healthy 6-3 lead by the end of first period with consecutive takedown moves. As is usually the case, Aman, who thrives on a high-endurance game, first tried to wear down his opponent and then went for the kill. With dominating technical-superiority wins over Vladimir Egorov and Zelimkhan Abakarov, the Indian wrestler stormed into the semifinals without conceding a single point but was no match for Japan's Rei Higuchi in the semifinals. Having lost his parents at a tender age of 12, the famed Chhatrasal stadium -- where his father had enrolled him in 2013 -- became his second home. He comes from the centre that has given India four Olympic medallists -- Sushil Kumar, Yogeshwar Dutt, Bajrang Punia and Ravi Dahiya. Reetika Hooda (76kg) will be in action on Saturday, and if she wins a medal, India will match its Tokyo tally.

Aman Sehrawat wins bronze, carries forward Chhatarsal's rich legacy

To gain something, <keyword id="20430890" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aman-Sehrawat" source="keywords">Aman Sehrawat</keyword> firstly needed to lose something. When the scales of the weighing machine showed 61.5 kg on Thursday after his semi-final defeat to eventual champion Rei Higuchi, Aman had a bigger job at hand before taking the mat for the <keyword id="20257145" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bronze-medal" source="keywords">bronze medal</keyword> play-off. India's youngest <keyword id="19986816" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Olympic" source="keywords">Olympic</keyword> bronze medal winning grappler had to shed 4.5 kilograms of bodyweight in a stipulated time of 10 hours before mandatory second day weigh-in to qualify for the 57 kg bout. By the time Aman was up on the weighing machine on second morning, he along with his coaches Jagmander Singh and Virender Dahiya had accomplished the mission -- reduced 4.6 kgs to be eligible for the fight at 56.9 kg. It was case being exactly 100 gram less than critical limit. If 100 gram became tragedy for Vinesh Phogat, it was a case of relief for Aman. On Thursday, Aman had lost his semifinal bout against Japan's Rei Higuchi around 6:30 pm. There was no time to waste. The 'mission' began with a one-and-a-half-hour mat session during which the two senior coaches engaged him in standing <keyword id="19908341" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="wrestling" source="keywords">wrestling</keyword> and it was followed by a one-hour hot-bath session. At 12:30 they hit the gym, where Aman had a non-stop one-hour run on the treadmill. The sweating would help in cutting weight. He was then given a 30-minute break, followed by five sessions of 5-minute sauna bath. By the end of the last session, Aman was still weighing 900g more. He was given a massage and then the coaches asked the Chhtrasal trainee to do light jogging. It was followed by five 15-minute running sessions. By 4:30am, Aman was weighing 56.9kg -- 100g less. The coaches and the wrestler heaved a sigh of relief. In between these sessions, Aman was given lukewarm water with lemon and honey and a bit of coffee to drink. Aman would not sleep after that. "I watched videos of wrestling bouts, the whole night." "We kept checking his weight every hour. We didn't sleep the whole night, not even during the day," said coach Dahiya. "Weight cutting is routine, normal for us but there was tension, a lot of tension due to what happened the other day (with Vinesh). We could not let slip another medal," said Dahiya. All the hard work came to a fruition when Aman won the bronze medal, beating Puerto Rico's Darian Cruz on Friday to become India's youngest ever Olympic medallist.

Aman will compete with Japan's Rei Higuchi later on Thursday to fight for a chance to play for India's first gold medal at the Paris Olympics. He got his first point in the bout due to passivity from the Albanian wrestler. He went on to complete a takedown to take a 3-0 lead in the first period. In the second period, he outplayed Abakanov with his remarkable skillset to storm into the final four. Earlier on Thursday, Aman defeated former European champion Vladimir Egorov by a technical superiority 10-0 win in the first round to reach the quarter-finals. However, it wasn't sunshine for all the wrestlers at the Paris Olympics. Vinesh Phogat was disqualified before the 50 kg freestyle wrestling final at the Paris Olympics after breaching the weight limit. She announced her retirement from wrestling following her disqualification in the 50 kg freestyle wrestling final. Anshu Malik, who featured in the women's 57 kg freestyle category, lost to USA's Helen Maroulis by 2-7. Nisha Dahiya's Paris Olympics campaign met an unfortunate end as she succumbed to North Korea's Pak Sol Gum in the quarter-finals of the women's 68 kg event. Nisha faced an 8-10 loss to Sol Gum. At one point, she was leading by 8-2, but she faced an injury and had to take some medical timeouts. Sol Gum took full advantage of her opponent's injury and made a comeback, which helped her prevail over Nisha. Antim Panghal lost to Zeynep Yetgil of Turkey in the women's 53 kg freestyle round of 16 bout. The Turkish wrestler, a U23 European championship bronze medallist, won on technical superiority.

Reetika retaliated with an aggressive move to take down Bernadett and take a 6-2 advantage.
