India Reaches Hockey Semi-Finals at Paris Olympics

The Indian men's hockey team has made significant strides in the 2024 Paris Olympics, reaching the semi-finals after defeating Great Britain 4-2 in a penalty shootout. Key highlights include India's historic 3-2 win over Australia, their first Olympic victory against them in 52 years, and strong performances against Belgium and Argentina. Captain Harmanpreet Singh has been instrumental, scoring six goals so far, while veteran goalkeeper PR Sreejesh has been pivotal with crucial saves. The team credits their mental toughness to a unique training session in the Swiss Alps led by sports psychologist Paddy Upton. India will face Germany next in the semi-finals, aiming to end a 40-year gold medal drought.
