Aim Is To Upgrade Our Tokyo Bronze To Gold In Paris: Harmanpreet Singh
Having clinched a bronze medal in Tokyo Olympics, Indian men's hockey team will look to upgrade to gold in the upcoming Paris Games, said skipper Harmanpreet Singh. The record eight-time gold medalists had fought hard from a 1-3 deficit to beat Germany 5-4 in the bronze play-off at Tokyo in 2021, ending their 41-year wait for an Olympic medal. Prior to that, India's last Olympic medal was a gold in the Moscow Games in 1980. "Tokyo was a monumental moment, and we're determined to carry that momentum into Paris. Our goal is straightforward -- to upgrade the colour of the medal by aiming for gold," Harmanpreet said in a Hockey India release, reacting to their Paris draw.
