Paris Olympics Day 14 Live: Indian wrestler Aman Sehrawat will step on to the mat and bid for bronze medal while men’s 4x400m relay team will look to book their place in the final.
India will look to add another bronze medal to their tally when young wrestler Aman Sehrawat will step on to the mat in his wrestling 57kg category bronze medal match against Puerto Rico’s Darian Toi Cruz. Aman, who is the only male wrestler from India in Paris, made a sensational Olympic debut with back-to-back wins via technical superiority including one over former world champion Zelimkhan Abakarov of Albania.
But the 21-year-old Aman ran into No. 1 seed Rei Higuchi of Japan in the semifinal and disappointingly failed to make his way into the final. The young grappler will look to bounce back from that disappointment and bring home India’s 5th bronze medal of the Paris Olympics on Friday (August 9) night.
In athletics, both men’s and women’s 4x400m relay team will be in action. Both Indian teams will be running in Heat 2 of the relay event. The top 3 teams in each of the heats automatically qualify for Saturday’s final along with the 2 fastest teams in both the heats.
During the World Athletics Relays held earlier this year, the women’s team comprising Rupal Chaudhary, MR Poovamma, Jyothika Sri Dandi, and Subha Venkatesan finished second and earned a ticket to the Paris Games. The men’s team, including Muhammad Anas Yahiya, Muhammad Ajmal, Arokia Rajiv, and Amoj Jacob, finished second in their heat with a combined time of 3 minutes and 3.23 seconds.
