In Paris Olympics, Indian grappler Aman Sehrawat stormed into the semifinal of the 57kg freestyle wrestling category after beating Albania’s Zelimkhan Abakarov 12-0. After flooring his Macedonian opponent in the previous round, he trounced Zelimkhan as well, making it to the last four of the contest. His win has reignited India’s hope for a medal in wrestling, especially after Vinesh Phogat’s heartbreak yesterday.

In addition, Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra will aim to defend his title in the javelin throw final, scheduled for late in the night at 11:55 PM IST. Indian hockey team will play a crucial bronze medal match against Spain at 5:30 PM IST, to retain their bronze medal.
