India, who have previously won eight gold medals, secured their 13th men’s Olympic hockey medal with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Spain in the bronze medal match on Thursday. Harmanpreet Singh scored twice from penalty corners, overturning Marc Miralles’ opener for Spain at the Yves du Manoir Stadium in Colombes, northwest of Paris. This win marks India’s fourth bronze medal and their second consecutive bronze following the Tokyo Olympics. Their tally also includes eight gold medals, the most recent in 1980, and three silvers.
India had previously won seven of their last ten encounters with three-time champions Spain, but after a tense first half, they found themselves trailing when Miralles fired an 18th-minute penalty stroke past the ‘Wall of India,’ PR Sreejesh, who was playing his 336th and final international match.
