New Delhi: India might be feeling disappointed to miss out on a gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics but a bronze medal is better than returning home empty-handed.
The Men in Blue suffered a heart-wrenching defeat in the semifinals against Germany and will have to regroup quickly in their bid for a second consecutive podium finish at the Olympics. Standing in their way is Spain who will be gunning for glory in the bronze medal play-off on Thursday.
The Indians fought bravely against Germany, but despite taking an early lead slumped to a disappointing 2-3 loss.
Haramanpreet’s men were guilty of wasting too many chances, including 10 penalty corners, and defensive lapses, leading to their downfall.
Amit Rohidas’ return would come as a huge relief for Indians. He missed the semifinal after being shown the red card against Great Britain in the quarterfinal. Not only he will will bolster the Indian defence but also give more chances from penalty corners.
India might have failed to break a 44-year-old jinx to reach an Olympic final but have a chance to secure back-to-back medals.
The last time India made the Olympic hockey final was at the 1980 Moscow Games – their last of the eight gold medals at the quadrennial event.
While India lost a thrilling semifinal, Spain were thrashed 0-4 by Netherlands.
