Last time we won back to back hockey medals was over 5 decades ago.

 

People like me remember the humiliation of 2000s, missing Beijing cut, last place in London. 

 

Some of you watch once in 4 years and behave like complaining aunties, undermining such a tough won medal against all odds.

 

13 Olympic medals in one team sport.

yea cause mostly refs stuff us. we deserved silver at the bare minimum anyway.

Sreejesh and Sindhu are 2 of the most clutch Indian sportspersons I have seen.

Indians hammered FIH twitter handles after Germany loss. Looks like someone noticed that.

Jaane do. They havent seen the pain:). These sepoys are pretty well fed. They havent seen our starving for last 20 years. If they cant get bread let them eat cake..

In a way good. Expectations have gone up.

 

Our people whining over India getting an Olympic bronze is something which our fathers wouldn't have seen.

Man Sehrawat needs a Vinesh esque miracle against that Jap.

Either way I feel Medal is almost confirmed from him.

 

If he wins in the Semi... Dude will snatch Gold for sure.

They should have beaten Germany in SF. Germany was not that great in SF.

 

I have not watched any Netherlands matches so cannot comment on them.

 

They should have ended with Silver, Bronze is such a poor consolation.

When do you ever say Kohli should do something that you're behaving like a spoilt brat here.
