  "account": "Wrestler Aman Sehrawat revealed that he has had his weight under control for the past year, which was a first for him. He participated in the Asian Games to compete without the weight cut that had been an issue at the 2025 World Championships. Aman won a gold medal in the men's freestyle 57 kg category, becoming India's first-ever champion in that division. It marked the first time he could run with the Indian flag on the mat after missing the celebration at the Paris Olympics due to not winning gold. Prior to the Asian Games, Aman's matches were high-scoring but often involved conceding points early. He decided to take early points and finish matches quickly during his campaign. Aman's bouts were improved by his coach Bentinidis Shako, who helped him refine his technique and control attacking positions. The wrestler's performance was a significant achievement, but he remains uncertain about participating in the upcoming World Championships due to a difficult weight cut and the upcoming 2028 LA Olympics qualifiers.",
