NEW DELHI: Anurag Thakur, the Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, on Monday congratulated the Indian women’s and men’s hockey teams on reaching the semi-finals of the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

India defeated Australia 1-0 on Monday in the quarter-finals and as a result, the women’s team reached the semi-finals of the Olympics for the very first time. On Sunday, the men’s hockey team defeated Great Britain 3-1 to enter the semis of the Olympics for the first time in 49 years. “Both our hockey teams gave splendid performances, congratulations and best wishes to them.<\/p>\n

We also wish them on behalf of 135 crore Indians for forthcoming important games. PV Sindhu won bronze medal yesterday. Mirabai Chanu won silver earlier. Lovlina gave a terrific performance. This has given hope to India. I am happy that India’s daughters have won two medals so far. Women’s hockey team performed spectacularly well today, the men’s hockey team also gave a superb performance,” Thakur told reporters. In what comes as a historic day and possibly the greatest moment for women’s hockey in India, Gurjit Kaur scored the lone goal in the match during the first half through a penalty corner in a very tightly contested match. On Sunday, the men’s hockey team also reached the semi-finals after Manpreet Singh’s side defeated Great Britain 3-1. Shuttler PV Sindhu also scripted history on Sunday as she returned with a bronze in the women’s singles event.<\/p>\n

As a result, she became the first Indian woman to win two Olympic medals. She had earlier won silver at Rio Olympics 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
