With Aman Sehrawat clinching the first medal in the wrestling category for India in the Paris 2024 Olympics, Reetika Hooda will hope to do the same on day 15 of the event. Hooda will fight in the Women’s freestyle 76kg as she hopes to make it to the semi-final which will also take place on Saturday.
The only other event for India on Saturday is the women’s strokeplay of Round 4, comprising Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar. India have 6 medals in their repertoire so far, with men’s hockey team, Manu Bhaker, Swapnil Kusale, Neeraj Chopra, and Aman Sehrawat winning those. However, the end of day 14 saw them languishing at 66th spot in the medals tally, signalling that the number could’ve been a lot more.
AMAN SEHRAWAT – Remember the name!
