Aman needed to overcome Puerto Rico&#8217;s Darian Cruz in his final bout and the Haryana-born displayed amazing composure in his pursuit of glory.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Veteran sports journalist Samip Rajguru caught up with Aman following his bronze medal match for an interview where he expressed his burning desire to bring more laurels to the country at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am ecstatic about my achievement and the fact that I am the youngest Indian ever to win a medal for India in an individual event at the Olympics makes me realise that it is just a beginning and I have to achieve a lot more in the coming years. I have my eyes set on the 2028 (Los Angeles) and 2032 Olympics,&#8221; said Aman.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Aman&#8217;s medal in Paris is India&#8217;s fifth consecutive medal at the Olympics in wrestling &#8211; a trend that started at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and is still going strong. The Haryana-born revealed that he wanted to continue with the tradition and to repay the love and affection of 1.4 billion Indians.<\/p>\n<div class=\"atmidvid\">\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"Oa9JHDwDFwE\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Paris Olympics 2024: Medalist Aman Sehrawat \u0915\u093e \u0905\u0917\u0932\u0947 Olympics \u092a\u0930 \u092c\u0921\u093c\u093e \u0926\u093e\u0935\u093e, India TV \u0938\u0947 \u0915\u0940 \u0916\u093e\u0938 \u092c\u093e\u0924\u091a\u0940\u0924\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oa9JHDwDFwE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;The entry into the finals certainly releases a lot of pressure.

He is very punctual and we knew that he was going to do really well in Paris.
