The Indian Men?s Hockey team scripted history, as they won the Olympic bronze medal for the second consecutive time in the Olympics. The Indian hockey team has been one of the finest teams in the world of international hockey, as they defended their medal tally from the Tokyo summer Olympics held four years back in 2020.

 India was led by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmanpreet_Singh">Harmanpreet Singh</a> in the Paris Olympics Field Hockey event, as they first defeated the mighty Aussies in a group stage match, ending a long one-sided rivalry of over 52 years. India emerged as one of the most legendary teams in the history of the Olympics, as they next defeated Great Britain in the quarterfinals to enter the semis. This effort was largely praised by many legends and even countrymen as they entered the competition for a medal.

 Men?s hockey is the most successful event that has been the best for the Olympic medal race, as the Indian men?s hockey team since the start of the Olympic games has won 8 gold medals last year, a silver, as well as 3 bronze medals, with the last two in the previous two editions of the Olympic games in 2020 and 2024.
