Bronze |
The Indian hockey team successfully defended their bronze medal at the Paris Olympics 2024, securing a 2-1 victory over Spain.
Skipper Harmanpreet Singh played a crucial role in the Men in Blue’s triumph, scoring two drag-flick goals that allowed India to come from behind and win the decisive match.
Although the team fell short of clinching a silver or gold in Paris, the players will undoubtedly cherish this bronze medal for years to come. The match also marked a fitting conclusion to the career of veteran goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, who played his final game for India in Paris.
Achieving back-to-back Olympic medals had been a long-standing dream for the team, and coach Craig Fulton’s side has realised that dream after navigating a challenging path in this year’s quadrennial event.

In other events, Neeraj Chopra is poised to make history as he eyes a record second gold medal in the javelin throw event. His competition is set to begin at 11:55 PM IST.
Earlier in the Games, Manu Bhaker made history by becoming the first Indian woman shooter to win a medal at the Summer Olympics. She clinched a bronze in the 10m Air Pistol event at the Paris 2024 Games.
Additionally, it is worth noting that Norman Pritchard, an athlete representing India, won two silver medals at the 1900 Summer Olympics, marking the first Olympic medals for the country.
