This marks India's back-to-back medal win in men's hockey at the Olympics, following their bronze in Tokyo 2020. The last time India achieved consecutive Olympic medals in men's hockey was in 1968 and 1972. India had previously won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics, which was their first Olympic hockey medal since the 1980 Games.

The Indian hockey team successfully defended their bronze medal at the Paris Olympics 2024, securing a 2-1 victory over Spain.

Skipper Harmanpreet Singh played a crucial role in the Men in Blue's triumph, scoring two drag-flick goals that allowed India to come from behind and win the decisive match.

Although the team fell short of clinching a silver or gold in Paris, the players will undoubtedly cherish this bronze medal for years to come. The match also marked a fitting conclusion to the career of veteran goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, who played his final game for India in Paris.

Achieving back-to-back Olympic medals had been a long-standing dream for the team, and coach Craig Fulton's side has realised that dream after navigating a challenging path in this year's quadrennial event.
