The Indian men’s hockey team secured back-to-back Olympic medals for the first time since 1972 with a 2-1 victory over Spain in the bronze medal match at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The game took place at Yves de Manoir Stadium on Thursday. The last time the Indian men’s team earned consecutive Olympic medals was during the 1968 Mexico City Games and the 1972 Munich Games, where it claimed bronze in both tournaments.
India previously earned a bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics with a 5-4 victory over Germany, following a semifinal loss to Belgium. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, the team fell short of a gold medal after a 2-3 defeat to Germany in the semifinals on August 6, continuing their quest for a first hockey gold medal since 1980.
