The Big moment for Indian Men's Hockey: Olympic Medal(Bronze) after 41 years !!

Tweet

So after so many struggles, triumphs, ups and downs, the moment of glory came for the Indian Men's hockey team. A team which had 8 Olympic Golds and had a hold on the top Olympic position for most of the years from 1928 to 1964, but which had struggled since 1980 Moscow Olympics Gold, this was a moment of glory and reckoning. Australia, Germany, Netherlands, South Korea and lately Belgium and Argentina had established their hold in the Men's (and to a large extent in Women's Hockey) and India had been lagging behind. Apart from a few achievements here and there, India had been struggling. Yet it ended today when Indian team fought from a 1-3 deficit against a tough German team to win a closely fought match by 5-4. Bronze might not shine as bright as Gold but well, this is a big moment for Indian Hockey and may be a spark for renaissance of Indian Hockey.
