Aman Sehrawat upheld the tradition of the Chhatrasal Stadium on Friday by delivering an impressive performance that earned India its inaugural wrestling medal at the Paris Olympics 2024.Chhatrasal Aman Sehrawat wiki The 21-year-old athlete hails from the renowned Chhatrasal Stadium. He had lost both parents at the tender age of 11. He triumphed over Darian Toi Cruz with a score of 13-5 in the bronze medal match held at the Champ de Mars Arena. Prior to his premature passing, Aman’s father had enrolled him at the Chhatrasal Stadium in 2013. He inadvertently guided his son toward a future filled with Olympic potential.This stadium is renowned for producing four Olympic medalists—Sushil Kumar, Yogeshwar Dutt, Bajrang Punia, and Ravi Dahiya. It transformed into Aman’s second home. It offers him not only refuge but also a profound sense of purpose and community. Training alongside these esteemed athletes profoundly influenced him. He particularly had the strong work ethic exemplified by Sushil Kumar. Nevertheless, it was his bond with Ravi Dahiya that resonated most deeply with Aman. Like Aman, Ravi had arrived at Chhatrasal as a young boy, ascending through the ranks to ultimately secure a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics. Chhatrasal Aman Sehrawat won bronze in Paris Olympic 2024. With this victory, Sehrawat has etched his name in history as the youngest individual Olympic medallist from India, achieving this milestone at the age of 21 years, 0 months, and 24 days. In surpassing the previous record held by PV Sindhu, who was 21 years, 1 month, and 14 days old when she secured a silver medal at the Rio Olympics 2016, the young wrestler has set a new benchmark. Aman dedicated his bronze medal to his late parents and to his country. He honored the aspirations they held for him. “My parents always wanted me to be a wrestler. They didn’t know anything about the Olympics, but they wanted me to be a wrestler,” he expressed, his voice resonating with deep emotion.
