Paris Olympics: Quarterfinals First Target As Hockey Team Chases Second Successive Medal

By IANS News July 22, 2024 • 09:39 AM View: 671

Raj Kumar Pal: India ended a long 41-year-old drought for an Olympic medal in men's hockey in Tokyo and now face a bigger challenge of breaking a long dry spell when it comes to winning medals in back-to-back Games. India last won medals in successive Olympic Games in 1968 and 1972 -- bronze medals in Mexico and Munich.

India is the most successful nation in Olympic hockey having won eight gold medals, six in a row. But those medals came four decades back and the hockey world has changed a lot since those years and winning back-to-back medals is not that easy nowadays.
