Aman displayed extraordinary technique as he quickly locked his legs and performed multiple turns, scoring eight consecutive points against Abakarov. Higuchi, who previously won silver at the 2016 Olympics and had also claimed medals at the 2023 World Wrestling Championships, posed a significant challenge for Aman. While Aman's achievements brought joy to Indian wrestling fans, the day was bittersweet due to the disqualification of Vinesh Phogat, who was unable to compete after not making weight. Vinesh's absence left many questioning the future of Indian wrestling, but Aman's victories provided a glimmer of hope.
