Aman Sehrawat won the gold medal in the 57kg freestyle wrestling category at the Asian Games in Nagoya on Saturday, defeating North Korea's reigning world champion Han Chong-song 11-7 in the final. The 23-year-old battled through a grueling match that left him with visible bruises and scratches after his opponent attempted to stall and mounted a brief comeback from 6-1 down.

The victory makes him the first Indian to win a second medal in the men's 57kg freestyle event at the Asian Games, following his bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
