India At Paris 2024 Olympics Day 14: Aman Sehrawat Eyes Bronze
The men's relay team will look to have a good show in Paris 2024.
Wrestler Aman Sehrawat will be fighting for a bronze medal in the men's freestyle 57kg event at the Paris 2024 Olympics on Friday night. Golfers and the athletics men's and women's team will also be in action.
Sehrawat's qualification for a medal round came as some good news for the Indian wrestling team after the heartbreaking disqualification of Vinesh Phogat from the women's 50kg event, leading her to announce her retirement.
