1. Who became India's youngest Olympic medalist by clinching a bronze medal in the men's 57kg wrestling event at the 2024 Paris Olympics?
Aman Sehrawat, a 21-year-old wrestler from the Chhatrasal Akhada in Haryana, made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics by securing India's first wrestling medal. His journey from the Chhatrasal Akhada, where he has trained since age 11, culminated in his victory over Darian Cruz of Venezuela. Sehrawat's bronze medal not only marks him as India's youngest Olympic medalist but also brings the nation its only wrestling medal.
