India secured a historic victory at the Paris Olympics 2024, clinching the bronze medal in men's hockey with a 2-1 triumph over Spain. This marks the first time India has won consecutive Olympic medals in hockey since 1972, bringing their total to a record-extending 13 medals in the sport.

Captain Harmanpreet Singh was the hero of the match, scoring twice to overturn Spain's early lead. The Spanish side took the lead in the 18th minute through a penalty stroke by Marc Miralles, putting India on the back foot. However, Harmanpreet leveled the score just before halftime and struck again early in the third quarter to give India the lead.

The match was a tense affair, with both teams creating chances and putting pressure on each other's defenses. PR Sreejesh, playing in his final Olympic match, made crucial saves throughout the game, especially in the dying moments as Spain pushed for an equalizer. His performance ensured India held onto their lead and secured the bronze medal, making his farewell a memorable one.

India's victory was a fitting send-off for Sreejesh, who has been a stalwart in Indian hockey for years. The win not only brought joy to the nation but also solidified India's place as a dominant force in Olympic hockey.
