Paris Olympics: Wrestler Aman Sehrawat Loses To Rei Higuchi In Semis, To Play For Bronze
Wrestler Aman Sehrawat: Wrestler Aman Sehrawat lost to Japanese top-seed Rei Higuchi 0-10 in the men's 57kg freestyle semifinal in the Paris Olympics at Champ-de-Mars Arena here on Thursday. Aman will now play for the bronze medal match against Darian Cruz of Puerto Rican, who lost to Higuchi via technical superiority in the pre-quarterfinals.
After Vinesh Phogat's disqualification heartbreak, India's hopes of winning a first gold medal in wrestling suffered a huge blow as Aman lost the bout in the first period itself on technical superiority over two minutes.
Higuchi's superior technique was clear from the start as he swiftly attacked Aman's legs, securing a 4-0 lead within seconds. The Japanese wrestler, who was the 2022 world champion in the 61kg category in Belgrade, maintained relentless pressure on the Indian, continuously targeting Aman's legs and executing effortless throw-downs to accumulate six more points, ultimately concluding the contest.
