India's Hockey Team Wins Bronze at Paris Olympics

India's hockey team made history at the Paris Olympics on Thursday, winning the bronze medal with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Spain. The team, led by captain Harmanpreet Singh, showed remarkable resilience and determination throughout the tournament, and their win was a testament to their hard work and dedication.

The match against Spain was a nail-biter, with both teams creating scoring opportunities in the first half. However, it was Spain who took the lead in the 18th minute with a penalty stroke goal. India fought back, and just before halftime, Harmanpreet Singh scored a penalty corner goal to level the score. 

In the second half, India dominated the game, with Harmanpreet Singh scoring another penalty corner goal to give India the lead. Spain tried to fight back, but India's defense was solid, and they held on to win the game.

This was India's fourth medal at the Paris Olympics, and it marked a remarkable comeback for the team after their heartbreaking defeat to Germany in the semi-finals. The team's journey in the competition was nothing short of stellar, with impressive wins over heavyweights Australia and Great Britain. 

The win was also significant as it marked the final international appearance of legendary goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, who made his debut in 2006 and was a crucial part of the team that won the Olympic bronze in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
