  "account": "Indian wrestlers gained recognition in Japan, turning that success into a mission for the Los Angeles Olympics. After battling injuries and form slumps, the team secured six medals at the Asian Games, including two golds. Aman Sehrawat and Sujeet Kalkal claimed the golds in the men's 57kg freestyle and 65kg freestyle categories, respectively. Nitesh Siwach and Antim Panghal earned silver in the 97kg Greco-Roman and women's 53kg categories. Deepak Punia added bronze in the 97kg Greco-Roman. The victories, particularly Sehrawat's, marked a turning point in their careers. Sehrawat, who had struggled with motivation and an injury, credited his team's support and the nation's prayers for his success. Siwach, returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for over a year, expressed his happiness at securing silver and focused on achieving gold in the upcoming Olympics. The wrestlers are now preparing diligently for the 2028 Los Angeles Games, aiming to bring home more medals for the country.",
