Aman Sehrawat's weight
Aman Sehrawat, at just 21 years old, became India's youngest individual Olympic medalist by winning bronze in the men's 57 kg wrestling category at the Paris Olympics. After a disappointing semifinal loss to Japan's Rei Higuchi, Aman faced the challenge of cutting 4.6 kg within 10 hours to qualify for the bronze match. His rigorous regimen included mat sessions, hot baths, treadmill runs, and sauna baths, all meticulously supervised by coaches Jagmander Singh and Virender Dahiya. Despite initially weighing over the limit at 61.5 kg, he successfully reached 56.9 kg just in time for the weigh-in, avoiding the fate of his teammate Vinesh Phogat, who was disqualified for being 100 grams overweight. Aman's determination paid off as he defeated Puerto Rico's Darian Cruz 13-5 in the bronze medal match, contributing to India's continued success in Olympic wrestling. This marks India's eighth Olympic medal in wrestling and the fifth consecutive Games where the country has secured a wrestling medal.
