COLOMBES: India men’s Hockey team came from behind to down Spain 2-1 and clinched the bronze medal in the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024.
Spain had a flying start to the third-place playoff as they secured an early lead through their captain Marc Miralles in the 18th minute.
The early deficit, however, did not haunt India much as they hit back in the 30th minute to draw level, courtesy of their skipper Harmanpreet Singh.
Singh struck again two minutes later to put India ahead in the 33rd minute.
India’s defence then did well to refrain Spain from firing in an equalizer and clung on to their lead till the final whistle.
Notably, a bronze in the Paris Olympics 2024 took India’s tally of Olympic medals in Hockey to 13.
This was the nation’s second-consecutive bronze medal in field hockey, their first since Munich 1972.
India’s men’s hockey team entered the Paris Olympics 2024 as the most successful side in Olympic history with eight gold, one silver, and three bronze medals.
The nation that was going downhill in Hockey defied all the odds and ended a 41-year medal drought by claiming the bronze medal at Tokyo 2020.
