"Lacked Fitness": India Women's Hockey Captain Salima Tete's Brutal Confession Amid Downward Spiral

Caught in a downward spiral of reverses since the historic fourth-place finish in the Tokyo Olympics, Indian women's hockey team captain Salima Tete on Wednesday attributed it to the lack of fitness and mental toughness. After creating history in Tokyo in 2021, the team failed to qualify for the Paris Olympics this year and also performed poorly in the last FIH Pro League.

We should move on because if we don't move on, we can never win a match," Salima told PTI in an interview ahead of the women's Asian Champions Trophy in Rajgir, Bihar from November 11 to 20.
