Aman Sehrawat Says His Weight Was Under Control for First Time

Wrestlers have to meet a certain weight to compete in their category.

Aman Sehrawat said this was the first time in a year that he felt his weight was under control.

He said stomach problems and poor health made it hard to lose weight for the 2025 World Championships.

He missed that competition.

Now he hopes to compete at the Asian Games without worrying so much about weight cutting.

He also wants to run around the mat with the Indian flag if he wins.

After his Olympic bronze in Paris, he could not celebrate that way because the rules allow only gold medallists to use the flag on the mat.
