Paris Olympics: They Expect Indian Men’s Hockey Team To Win Every Time, Says Chief Selector RP Singh
Paris Olympics Games: The Indian men's hockey team made history on Thursday as the Harmanpreet Singh-led side secured a back-to-back bronze medal for their 2-1 comeback win at Yves-du-Manoir Stadium on Thursday. Following the team’s return to the country, RP Singh, former hockey player and chairman of Hockey India's (HI) selection committee spoke to IANS and shared his thoughts on the campaign.
“This is a very happy occasion that our players have won two consecutive medals. Even if the country misses out on a medal or two, the country celebrates differently when it comes to Hockey. The expectation around the team is if the hockey team goes somewhere then they will win a medal,” Singh told IANS.
Despite the stellar performance in the entire tournament which saw India defeat the likes of Australia and Great Britain, the team missed out on a gold medal after losing 2-3 against Germany in the semifinals.
