Following Aman\u2019s historic victory, Asian Games gold medallist and legendary coach behind the success of this wrestling temple, Mahabali Satpal spoke to IANS to express his joy and thoughts on his students\u2019 success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAll four of his bouts were great, this was a very important medal for wrestling and India. This is my fifth student\u2019s medal and I feel young once again. He is so nice and hardworking that I sometimes have to stop him from overexerting himself,\u201d Mahabali Satpal told IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sehrawat defeated Puerto Rico\u2019s Darian Cruz 13-5 in what can only be described as a dominant victory for the Indian wrestler. Despite being 1-3 down in the opening minutes, Sehrawat kept great composure and did not falter at the biggest sporting event in the world. He quickly regained a 6-3 advantage at the end of the first round and went on to win 13-5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This was the sixth Olympic medal to come from the \u2018Chhatrasal akhara\u2019 with Sushil Kumar having won the honour twice and Aman Sehrawat, Ravi Dahiya, Bajrang Punia and Yogeshwar Dutt all having won one medal each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cKamaal kardiya ladhke ne (The boy has done wonders). It was a superb performance by him. His performance can be attributed to his training, he was great in all aspects of the bout be it attack or defence,\u201d added the coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sehrawat is the youngest Indian to win an individual medal in the Olympics at 21 years 0 months and 24 days. Shuttler PV Sindhu won an Olympic medal at 21 years 4 months in Rio 2016.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The coach further went on to elaborate on how the celebrations have begun at the Akhara and that they plan on giving him a grand welcome when he returns home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe are all fully celebrating this win, just wait and watch the atmosphere at the airport once he returns. The 'dhols' are being sounded and sweets are being distributed. We organised a Hawan (Prayer) before he left and have been praying every day since he\u2019s been gone,\u201d Satpal concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
