The reasons for the end of India's golden age in the world of hockey

In the eight Olympic Games from 1928 to 1964, the gold medal for seven times in the eight Olympic Games, the silver medal in 1960 and the Olympic bronze medal in 1968 and 1972, what is to be called the hockey of the country whose game's decline is one of the world's largest Strange story

This is such an unbalanced story of India and hockey that people are still searching for. After satisfying two bronze, India's lottery was held at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, when all the western countries under the leadership of Pakistan, Pakistan also boycotted the Olympics and India took full advantage of it. But with this, the Olympic medal of Indian hockey ended with the Moscow Olympics. India won the last time not only as a gold but also a medal for the last time.

It was such a golden time when Hockey and India used to complement each other. It was a case of India's supremacy and suppression that all opponents were losing half the match even before the Indians got on the field against India, but this Olympic clash of India did not show due to the hockey World Cup because of its Golden Time Went out

That is why the Indian team won only the world cup of hockey in 1975. By the way, it became even more memorable for India, because India won this trophy by defeating Pakistan in the final. Apart from just one trophy, India's second best show in the Hockey World Cup is to remain in fifth position in 1982 and 1994.

Now for the first time in the World Cup in Odisha, under the leadership of coach Harendra Singh, the Indian hockey team is closest to getting their respect. 43 years after winning the first and only World Cup gold in 1975, for the third time in 2018, hosting the Hockey World Cup for the first time is the best form for the first time.

This year, the hockey Mahakumbha will be held in Bhubaneswar by December 16, which is being attended by the best 16 teams in the world. In the case of world-class medal and trophy, there may not be anything special in Indian hockey but it has made its mark everywhere with its performance and every champion team is trying to avoid it. Bronze in the Asian Games and the fourth place in the Commonwealth Games should not be underestimated because its journey was moving ahead before the same match.
