Glory days are back, India has won the Bronze medal in Olympics after facing 41 years of drought, this is the sport originated in India and this is the sport where India dominated for decades but from past 20-30 years they lost the fierceness, some people even said the era of Indian Hockey is over but here the redemption of our Indian Team they finally won the Bronze Medal in Olympics and this tournament was amazing for them, they work hard in this tournament, there were matches where they muscled off, and there was a match where they show how good India is what we are made of.
So let’s see how they play in this Olympics, take a quick look at their comebacks and their story of this Olympics.
India started their outing against New Zealand, New Zealand are considered as the good opponent and they started their tournament strong as they netted 3 goals and won the match by 3-2, but their next match was against Australia who is one of the contenders for Medal and they lost the match by 7-1, and it was a big defeat many people were wondering, Is this loose will demoralize players or break the momentum of a team but in next match against Spain we showed our fighting spirit and we scored 3 goals and dominated almost all halves and yes won the match by 3-0, and next was against Olympics champion Argentina, and nobody puts their money on us but we gave a shock and won the match 3-1 and by winning this match it was sure that we are qualifying for quarter-finals. And our last and next to pool match was against Japan and with the confidence team was arriving for Japan it might take something extraordinary to beat us but India won the match by 5-3. And started preparing for the quarter-finals. And in the quarter-finals, we drew against Great Britain which is a tough match but in past, we have beat them many times so we started strong and won the match by 3-1. And all Indian fans started smelling the medal, they know momentum with us big things can happen and they face-off Belgium, and in first 3 half’s match was pretty equal, neither team had clear authority on the but on 4th half Belgium completely turns the game and the netted 3 times and won the match and it was a big shock for all Indians but there is a chance to win a Bronze medal so in Bronze medal they came up against Germany, and they are very strong but Indians were optimistic and what happened? The young folks of India have created the history and won the match by 5-4 and my heart rate goes on the roof after winning the match, there were emotions, goosebumps all the things at the same time, I just can’t believe what I have witnessed.
A big congratulations to India’s Men Hockey Team and thank you to them for giving us this happiness and kudos for your hard work what you have done over the years and It was just fantastic and the best medal we have won till now.
