Aman Sehrawat fights back from 6-7 down to win Asian Games wrestling gold

Aman Sehrawat secured the top podium spot in the men's freestyle fifty-seven kilogram category at the regional multi-sport tournament in Nagoya after defeating Han Chong Song by eleven points to seven in the final bout. The Indian competitor overcame a late deficit when trailing six to seven, executing a four-point maneuver and gaining an additional point following an unsuccessful challenge from his opponent.

This victory marks Aman's second medal at the games, following his bronze finish at the prior edition in Hangzhou.

The championship match featured shifting momentum, including multiple injury delays that interrupted the action. After initially building a six to one lead, the wrestler from India allowed his North Korean rival to rattle off six consecutive points before turning the contest around in the final minute.

Sujeet Kalkal had previously captured gold in the sixty-five kilogram division for the same delegation earlier in the competition.
