Paris Olympics 2024: The Indian hockey team has performed brilliantly so far in the Paris Olympics 2024. However, India's dream of winning a gold or silver medal in hockey remained unfulfilled as India lost 3-2 to Germany in the semi-final match. However, there is still a chance for India to win a bronze medal. India will now face Spain for the bronze medal. Germany has entered the final by defeating India. In the next final match, Germany will face the Netherlands.
The semi-final match played between India and Germany was very interesting. Both the teams gave a tough fight to each other. In the first quarter, India took a 1-0 lead and in the second quarter, Germany took a 2-0 lead. In the third quarter, India made a comeback and made the score 2-2, but the fourth quarter was disappointing for India. In the fourth quarter, Germany took a 3-2 lead and defeated India.
India has won a total of 12 medals in hockey so far
Now on August 6, the Indian team will face Germany in the semi-final match. Germany defeated Argentina 3-2 in the quarter-finals. In the first semi-final, Spain will face the Netherlands. After 44 years, such a coincidence has happened when a strong team like Belgium or Australia is not in the semi-finals. Earlier this happened in the Moscow Olympics in 1980. At that time Australia boycotted the Olympics. While the Belgian team could not qualify for the hockey event. The Indian hockey team won the gold medal in the 1980 Olympics. The Indian hockey team has won a total of 12 Olympic medals so far – including 8 gold, one silver and three bronze.
