Hockey team ends 52-year-wait, Vinesh Phogat’s appeal against disqualification explained | Olympic Tales, Ep 11
Harmanpreet Singh and his men have proved their naysayers wrong. After the heartbreak of the World Cup at home last year, the Indian men’s hockey team won its successive Olympic bronze medal. It came after India beat Spain 3-2 in the final in Paris on August 8.
It was the 13th medal for Olympic hockey's most successful men’s team. It was a validation for the core group of Indian players, including PR Sreejesh, Manpreet Singh and Amit Rohidas, who had a topsy-turvy ride after winning the Tokyo Olympics medal.
In Paris, India was not labelled as a favourite after being drawn into a tough group that also included Australia and Belgium. However, they laid down an early marker after hammering Australia.
With the victory, India’s legendary PR Sreejesh bowed out. He was emotional after the win as he bowed down to his equipment and recreated the Tokyo 2020 pose.
Meanwhile, there is a glimmer of hope for Vinesh Phogat, who was disqualified. The wrestler retired in a heartbreaking post on social media on Thursday. She appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, saying she should be given a joint silver medal for her actions on the opening day of the women’s 50kg wrestling competition in Paris.
Akshay Ramesh and Saurabh Kumar discuss the historic hockey victory and the details of Vinesh Phogat’s appeal to the CAS.
