Confession: I am a hockey fan. I watch and follow cricket more as compared to hockey. There are no options, I guess.
8 time Gold Medal champions are back in action!!
India in hockey Olympics had a legendary run winning the gold medal six consecutive times from 1928 to 1956, last two coming in 1964 Tokyo and 1980 Moscow Olympics.
India`s worst performance in the Olympics took place in the year of 2008, when the Indian Hockey team failed to even qualify for the Beijing Olympic Games. But, smiles came back on face when we thrashed France by 8-1 in Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium on Sunday, 26th February 2012.

Sandeep Singh, boy from Kurukshetra- Haryana celebrated his birthday in style, scored five goals that brutally killed France.
Indian Hockey Team gets a fraction of appreciation that Indian Cricket Team usually gets. We need to encourage and motivate our players by every means – finances, facilities etc. so as to bring back the GOLD again.
Heartiest Congratulations to the Indian Hockey Team and I hope that we would do a CHAK DE!! in London 5 months down the line.
PS: Long Live, the National Sport!
