The team is in high spirits and is looking forward to the final block of training, skipper Harmanpreet Singh said

Indian men's hockey team striker Lalit Upadhyay has worked hard to rebuild his career and considers all the setbacks as blessings in disguise.

With Olympics 2024 around the corner, three former hockey champs weigh in on the sporting extravaganza

Sukhjeet Singh overcame the "toughest" phase of his life to earn a spot in the Olympic-bound Indian men's hockey squad and is determined to prove his worth.

Since taking over 14 months back, Fulton has stressed on the need to develop a strong team spirit, besides focussing more on defence strategically.

India will commence their Paris 2024 Olympics campaign on July 27, when they take on New Zealand in their first pool B match

Sukhjeet Singh is one of the five debutants — Sanjay, Abhishek, Rajkumar Pal, and Jarmanpreet Singh — who have joined the 11 members of Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist team for the Paris Games.

Harmanpreet’s men, who chose to skip the opening ceremony to concentrate on the match at the Yves-du-Manoir Stadium, will be vying to improve their medal colour in Paris

It predated hockey’s Games debut and after 100 years, it will incidentally host the same sport; Harmanpreet sees this as motivation and wants to make it all the more memorable by winning gold

Lucas Martinez gave Argentina the lead in the 22nd minute before Harmanpreet converted India's 10th and last penalty corner to pick up a crucial point from the game.

With two wins and a draw, India has gathered seven points from three matches and has almost made it to the quarterfinals.

Goalkeeper P.R. Sreejesh stood between the Australian players and goal post like a pillar.

Harmanpreet Singh-led outfit has lifted its game steadily in the Olympics and is likely to throw a different challenge against Great Britain

Harmanpreet, Sukhjeet, Lalit Upadhyay and Raj Kumar Pal scored for India in the shootout, which had more drama in store than one expects in pure action.

As soon as Rajkumar Pal scored the winning goal in the shoot-off, an emotional Dhanraj, glued to the TV at home, jumped in joy.

“Sreejesh is a legend, he is one of the best we have. He is saving us from day one. But when you ask him, he will say it was a team effort, so team first, then individuals,” said Harmanpreet.

India won last of their eight Olympic gold medals way back in the 1980 Moscow Games. Paris provides them a great opportunity to make history.

Sreejesh, who would play his last international match in the third place encounter against Spain on Thursday (August 8), said winning a medal should be the team’s priority

The Indian men’s hockey team won against Spain for the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics on August 8.

The bronze medal was indeed a fitting farewell for the goalkeeper P.R. Sreejesh. India wins back-to-back medals in hockey after 52 years.

The Indian team was successful in its ‘win it for Sreejesh’ campaign to make the stalwart’s last dance a memorable one before carrying him on their shoulders like a victorious warrior.

At that time, it cost around ₹10,000, which was a big sum for an ordinary farmer like me. But I did what I had to and bought him the kit, says P.V. Raveendran, father of goalkeeper and two-time Olympic medallist P.R. Sreejesh

For its rich history and the folklore stuff Indian hockey has provided for 96 years in the Olympics, it is not surprising when the countrymen react emotionally to an Olympic high.
