Sparring, treadmill run, 5 sessions of Sauna: How Sehrawat lost 4.6 kg in 10 hours
Paris: Indian wrestler Aman Sehrawat managed to shed 4.6kg in just one night to qualify for the bronze medal match at the Paris Olympics 2024. After his semi-final defeat, Aman was found to be 4.5kg over the permissible limit for the 57kg freestyle wrestling category.
With just 10 hours before the weigh-in, Aman and his team embarked on an intense weight-loss regimen, which included a 90-minute mat session, followed by an hour-long hot bath, and an hour of non-stop treadmill running. Despite this, he was still 900 grams over the limit.
To lose the remaining weight, Aman underwent five sauna sessions, followed by light jogging and five 15-minute training sessions. By the end of the night, Aman weighed in at 56.9kg, 100 grams under the permissible limit.
Throughout the process, Aman was kept hydrated with lukewarm water mixed with lemon and honey, along with some coffee, but he did not sleep at all. His coach, Virender Dahiya, emphasized the tension due to Vinesh Phogat’s recent failure to make weight by just 100 grams.
Aman’s efforts paid off as he defeated Puerto Rico’s Darian Cruz to secure a bronze medal, becoming India's youngest-ever Olympic medalist.
