Olympic gold medalist Abhinav Bindra lauded Indian wrestler Aman Sehrawat for winning the bronze medal in the 57 kg freestyle wrestling event at the Paris Olympics and called it a "huge achievement".

Abhinav Bindra took to his official X account and congratulated Aman for winning the bronze medal on Friday. The former India shooter added that the young wrestler has made the entire nation proud.

"Congratulations Aman ! Your determination on the mat, your focus, and the way you carry yourself with humility and grace--these are the qualities that make a true champion. Securing bronze in Paris is a huge achievement, but more than that, it's a reflection of your relentless pursuit of excellence. I'm incredibly proud of you, and I know you've made the entire nation proud too. Keep shining, champ," Abhinav Bindra wrote on X.

During the match, the Puerto Rican grappler initially gained the lead by securing a point with a single-leg hold. However, Aman came back strong, scoring points by targeting Darian Cruz's shoulders.

After Darian Cruz took the lead with a two-point move, Aman regained control.

With 37 seconds left, Aman secured additional points and won the bout with technical superiority as Darian Cruz attempted a desperate move and conceded another point. (ANI)
