NEW DELHI: Aman Sehrawat, after losing in the men's 57kg wrestling semifinal on Thursday, was 4.5 kilograms over the permissible weight limit (61.5kg) but guided by his Indian coaches, he successfully shed the excess weight within 10 hours, enabling him to compete for and win the bronze medal on Friday.
Working relentlessly overnight, the Aman's team ensured that he met the weight criteria, thus avoiding a potential disqualification.
