New Delhi: India’s freestyle wrestler Aman Sehrawat lost his men’s 57kg wrestling semifinal to Japan’s Rei Higuchi 10-0 at the Paris Olympics 2024 on Thursday. He will now contest in the bronze-medal match on Friday.
The first-seed from Japan ended the bout by technical superiority inside the first three minutes. Earlier, Aman had beaten North Macedonia’s Vladimir Egorov by a 10-0 margin in his round of 16 bout earlier in the day before registering a 12-0 technical superiority win over Albania’s Zelimkhan Abakanov in the quarterfinal.
Japanese toys with Sehrawat
Aman, who had raised hopes of securing a place in the final following two big victories against celebrated opponents in the earlier rounds, was no match for the 28-year-old Higuchi, the 2016 Rio Olympics silver medallist, as the Japanese toyed with the Indian to stamp his technical superiority with a 10-0 win in just over two minutes.
Higuchi’s superior technique was evident in the first few seconds when he attacked Aman’s legs to take a 4-0 lead.
