Young Indian wrestler Aman Sehrawat secured a spot in the Paris Olympics quarterfinals by delivering a commanding performance against North Macedonian competitor Vladimir Egorov in the 57kg freestyle category on Thursday.

At 21, Sehrawat, an Asian Championship gold medallist and the sole male wrestler from India to qualify for the Olympics, displayed extraordinary agility and robust defense. He consistently overpowered his 29-year-old opponent, a former European champion, using leg holds to clinch the match with technical superiority at 10-0.

Egorov struggled after the first round, even requiring medical attention for his knee following Sehrawat's aggressive moves. However, he couldn't mount a comeback as Sehrawat executed a decisive takedown, gaining two more points to lead 10-0 with over two minutes remaining.

Sehrawat's semifinal bout is scheduled for later in the day.
