Aman Sehrawat has become the first Indian male wrestler to secure a quota place for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Asian champion Sehrawat secured a Paris quota in the men’s 57kg freestyle category at the World Wrestling Olympic Qualifiers in Istanbul, Turkiye. Sehrawat beat Chongsong Han of Korea 12-2 in the semi-final for India’s sixth quota in wrestling for the 2024 Olympics.
All of the previous five quotas were obtained by the Indian women wrestlers.
