Paris Olympics: The Indian men's hockey team once again rose to the occasion and stood tall against Great Britain to take a 1-1 (4-2) victory in a shootout to secure a semifinal berth in the Paris Olympics on Sunday.

This is the first time since 1972 in Munich that India have reached the semifinals in men's hockey in two successive Olympic Games. Previously, India had won successive bronze medals at the 1968 and 1972 Olympics after reaching the semis. India have won the bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics and are in the fray to at least replicate or better that performance in Paris.
