Aman's journey to the bronze medal was a testament to his skill and determination. In the round of 16, he delivered a dominant performance against North Macedonia's Vladimir Egorov, winning 10-0. This strong start was followed by an equally impressive 11-0 victory over Albania's Zelimkhan Abakarov in the quarter-finals, showcasing his ability to control matches and accumulate points decisively.
