Paris Olympics: A Feat That Will Be Cherished For Generations, PM Modi Praises Hockey Team For Winning Bronze
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday congratulated the Indian men's hockey team for winning back-to-back bronze medals in the Olympic Games after 52 years and said their "feat will be cherished for generations to come".
India rode on a brace of goals by skipper Harmanpreet Singh and some brilliant saves by goalkeeper PR Sreejesh in his final international to overcome Spain 2-1, coming back from a goal deficit to emerge victorious in the bronze medal match played in Paris on Thursday.
India thus added a second successive bronze medal to the one they bagged in the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021, making it the first time since 1968 and 72 that the country has won back-to-back medals in the Olympics. This was also India's fourth medal in the Paris Olympic Games, adding to the three won by the shooters.
