Indian wrestler Aman Sehrawat scripted history at the Paris Olympics 2024 when he became the country's youngest-ever medal winner at the Olympics.

Aman bagged a bronze medal in the men’s 57 kg category, taking India's tally to six medals at the Paris Olympics 2024.

The 22-year-old received a warm welcome on his return to India after a memorable outing in Paris.

A few days after his remarkable effort, Aman has witnessed yet another progress in his career as he was ranked World No. 2 in the men’s 57 kg category as per the United World Wrestling rankings released on Sunday.

Sehrawat was the only Indian wrestler to earn a medal at the Paris Games, where he currently holds the second spot in the rankings with 51,600 points.

Notably, Aman lost his semifinal match to Japan’s Rei Higuchi, who is ranked number one in the world with 59,000 points.

Earlier in the competition, Aman defeated North Macedonia’s Vladimir Egorov 10-0 in the Round of 16 and registered a 12-0 technical superiority win over Albania’s Zelimkhan Abakanov in the quarterfinals.

Before the Paris Olympics, the 22-year-old Indian was ranked sixth in the world.

Aman, interestingly, had defeated Dahiya in the national wrestling trials to seal the qualification for the Paris Games.

With Aman's bronze medal, India managed to continue its streak of at least an Olympic medal in wrestling since 2008.

This was India’s eighth medal in wrestling at the Olympics.

Sushil Kumar and Ravi Kumar Dahiya won silver medals at London 2012 and Tokyo 2020, respectively. The remaining six medals are bronze.
