Jewel of Indian sport.

 

Cricket may have the money and fan following, but hockey has given us 8 Olympic gold medals. No other team in any sport has seen that sort of success, not even from USA, Russia, Germany, Australia. 

 

We will reach double digits in coming years, my hunch.

Great domination. 

Just don't understand how we fluffed the world cup so badly. Otherwise we are a top top hockey side.

Harmanpreet forgot how to play. We were damn poor in PCs.

Beat Aussies twice in this year's pro-league, no draw/loss

 

Beat Dutch once, drew once, lost twice

 

Beat Germans 2/2 times

 

Beat Belgians once, lost once

 

Beat Arg 2/2 times

 

Hope we upgrade the medal in Paris.

Just want that Olympics gold. As much as I am a cricket fan, if it means sacrificing WC2023 for a hockey gold in Paris 2024, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Orissa and Patnaik should be credited for the rise of Hockey in India. Astro-turfs, training and sponsoring the team. They hosted the Youth and Men's World Cup as well. Kudos to him :two_thumbs_up:

Investment and intentional effort to train the players in the correct way is all it took.

 

Everything else we heard over the decades - genetics, mental weakness etc etc - was total bogus.  So gratifying to see this!!

Look at this picture. They all look perfect like real athletes. Unlike some of the cricket players who are overweight.

10-2 was not enough. Pakistanis have no height/physique advantage over Indians. None whatsoever.
