The finish line is in sight for the Indian contingent in Paris and that means, events start to thin down. But there is still hope for the medal tally to be improved as Aman Sehrawat is one win away from winning the bronze medal in men’s 57kg wrestling. The boy from Chhatrasal got to Paris in place of Ravi Dahiya, and now he will have to step up to make sure India’s run of winning a wrestling medal since 2008 doesn’t end in Paris.
Here’s a look at the schedule for Friday:
