Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a special meeting and interaction with the Indian athletes who won medals for India at the Paris Olympics 2024.
Meanwhile, recently retired Indian men's hockey team goalkeeper PR Sreejesh also asked some interesting questions. Modi asked the star goalkeeper if he has decided to retire at the Olympics? Regarding this, Sreejesh said that I was thinking about this for some time. My teammates were also asking me when are you leaving hockey. I joined the camp for the first time in 2002. Played the first international match in 2004. Was playing continuously for the country for 20 years and was looking for a good platform to retire. Olympics is a great platform and the whole world considers Olympics as its festival. There was no better opportunity than this, so I decided to retire.
The hockey team will miss you: Modi
Regarding Sreejesh's retirement, Modi said that the team will miss you but they gave you a wonderful farewell. I congratulate the team that won the bronze medal. I welcome the players with the same enthusiasm as I bid farewell to the team.' It is worth noting that on this tour, shooter Manu Bhaker gave Modi a pistol, wrestler Aman Sehrawat gave him the hockey team's jersey and hockey stick. These jerseys had the autographs of the hockey players.
Praised wrestler Vinesh Phogat
While talking to the players, Modi praised female wrestler Vinesh Phogat and said that by reaching the wrestling finals, Phogat has created history and made the country proud with her performance. Players who could not win medals in the Olympics need not be disappointed. This time you may have missed the medal but seeing your hard work, I am sure that you will achieve success soon.
