India’s Aman beat China’s Minghu Liu via technical superiority 11-0 in the men’s 57kg freestyle to clinch bronze at the ongoing Asian Games in Hangzhou on Friday.

Aman bronze takes India’s tally to 93 medals in total and will continue to occupy the fourth spot in the overall medal standings.

At the end of the first three minutes, Aman pushed Liu out of bounds and kept trying to get a grip of the Chinese wrestler’s right knee, which was heavily strapped. The second round saw Aman push the Chinese out of the mat once more, before Liu got cautioned. The next four points for Aman came after a takedown, leading to a 11-0 technical superiority.
