India’s last appearance in the final of the Olympics came way back in 1980 Moscow Games, where they went on to win their last of the eight gold medals
TOKYO: The Indian men’s hockey team’s dream of Olympic gold after 41 years remained unfulfilled as it lost 2-5 to world champions Belgium in the last four stage but the side is still in the hunt for a bronze in the Tokyo Games here on Tuesday.
India will take on Germany in the bronze medal match on August 5 after Australia handed 2016 Olympic bronze medallists a 3-1 defeat to set up a showdown with Belgium in the final.
Alexander Hendrickx (19th, 49th, 53rd minutes), the tournament’s highest goal-getter, scored a hat-trick while Loick Luypaert (2nd minute) and John-John Dohmen (60th) also struck to hand the reigning silver-medallists their second successive entry into the final of the Olympics.
India’s goals came from the sticks of Harmanpreet Singh (7th) and Mandeep Singh (8th).
The Indians still have a chance to secure an elusive medal from the Olympics as they will feature in the bronze medal match on Thursday against Germany, who lost 1-3 to Australia in their semi-final clash.
India’s last appearance in the final of the Olympics came way back in the 1980 Moscow Games, where they went on to win their last of the eight gold medals.
