Aman Sehrawat has etched his name in Indian sports history once again. The Olympic bronze medallist claimed gold in the men’s freestyle 57kg category at the Asian Games 2026, defeating North Korea’s Han Chong Song 11-7 in a tightly contested final. The win adds to his growing legacy and marks another high point in India’s dominant wrestling campaign at the Aichi-Nagoya Games.
Sehrawat’s path to gold was anything but easy. He opened with a commanding 20-9 technical superiority win over Japan’s Yamato Ogawa. Then came a 12-1 thrashing of Kazakhstan’s Nurdanat Aitanov in the quarterfinals — proof of his dominance early on.
The real test came in the semifinals against Tajikistan’s Aiaal Belolyubskii. Trailing 2-6, Sehrawat turned the tide completely in the second period, scoring 12 points to win 14-8. That comeback wasn’t just physical, it was psychological. It showed he could handle pressure when it mattered most.
