1st Time In 52 Years: Indian Hockey On Historic High With Olympic Bronze

 Harmanpreet Singh converted two penalty corners as India beat Spain 2-1 in the men's hockey bronze medal match of Paris Olympics 2024 at Stade Yves-du-Manoir. India thus secured back-to-back medals at the Olympics, having also won bronze in Tokyo three years back, for the first time in 52 years.

The last time India won back-to-back hockey medals at Olympics was in 1968 and 1972. Veteran goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, who was playing his final match for India, made some extra-ordinary saves to deny Spanish captain Marc Miralles from the penalty corners.
