No One Gave Us A Chance But We Had It In Us To Win: India Coach Craig Fulton

A bronze medal finish is not what hockey coach Craig Fulton had wanted but the South African would relish the achievement simply for the fact that "underdog India" lifted themselves up from disappointments when no one gave them a chance. India dominated Spain in their bronze play-off to secure a 2-1 win. The last time India achieved back-to-back medals at the Olympic Games was in 1968 and 1972. India had endured a rough build-up to the Games, receiving a 0-5 hammering at the hands of Australia and also struggled in the FIH Pro-League.

"It Wasn't Just A Win, It Was A Statement": Hockey India Head Coach After Reaching Semi-Finals

"It was not just a win, it was a statement," gushed head coach Craig Fulton after the Indian hockey team emerged victorious after playing more than 40 minutes of a tense quarterfinal match against Great Britain with just 10 players at Paris Olympics on Sunday.

Britain were already dominating the match with superior ball possession and it put India in a very tricky position. The Tokyo Games bronze medallist side, though, braved the red card and played the second half without conceding a goal, saving nine penalty corners in the process.
