Paris Olympics: Indian hockey team will enter the final after 44 years

Monday was not a special day for India in Paris Olympics. India missed out on winning two medals. In shooting, the pair of Maheshwari and Anant Naruka lost to China by one point in the bronze medal match in the skeet mixed team event. At the same time, Lakshya Sen missed out on winning the bronze medal after losing to Malaysia’s Lee Ji Jia in badminton. Lakshya had won the first game and then lost the next two games. Now on the 11th day, India’s Neeraj Chopra will start his campaign. He will enter the qualification match in javelin throw. Neeraj is the gold medalist of Tokyo Olympics. There are a lot of expectations from him. Apart from this, the Indian men’s hockey team will also enter the semi-final match. They are facing three-time Olympic champion Germany. The Indian team will enter the final for the first time since the 1980 Olympics and secure a medal.

The Indian men’s hockey team won 80 percent of the matches in the quarter-finals while playing with 10 players. The match reached the penalty shootout and India defeated Britain 4-2. In the last Tokyo Olympics, the Indian men’s hockey team won bronze. Now Team India would like to change its color. Tomorrow is the important day when it will be decided what could be the color of India’s medal. If India loses in the semi-finals, it will have to play for the bronze medal. At the same time, after the Indian women’s table tennis team created history by reaching the quarter-finals, now it is the turn of the Indian men’s table tennis team.
