Aman Sehrawat, 22, who became the youngest Indian freestyle wrestler to win an individual Olympic bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the 57kg category, insists he’s not satisfied with his Paris and is eyeing gold at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

For this, he believes, he must adopt an aggressive mindset. “Earlier, there was a big gap between Indian and overseas wrestlers, but not anymore. Yes, we are comparatively less aggressive or attacking and that’s due to our mindset. We need to adopt an aggressive mindset to give out best at that highest level,” Sehrawat told mid-day on Monday after visiting the Lal Bahadur Shastri Vyayamshala Kusti Akhara at Central Railway Workshop, Matunga, where he enjoyed wrestling with some upcoming grapplers.

 “Whenever I enter an akhara, it feels like I’m home. The way all these wrestlers and everyone treated me today, I’m overwhelmed. I remember my first visit to my village [Birohar in Haryana] akhara was at the age of nine or 10. My uncle used to be a wrestler and many youngsters from my village were wrestlers too so I took a liking to the sport,” said Sehrawat.
