Keep in mind that Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat was disqualified before the gold medal match in the women’s 50 kg freestyle wrestling category because her weight was 100 grams more than the set standard. In such a situation, how a wrestler has to maintain weight in the Olympics and other international matches is no less than a battle.
“I still miss my parents.”
Aman Sehrawat is from Birohar in Jhajjar district of Haryana, where he initially started playing mud wrestling. When Sushil Kumar won the silver medal in the 2012 Olympics, he was inspired by him and came to the Chhatrasal Stadium in Delhi at the age of 10. When he was 11 years old, both his parents died due to different diseases.
