On Monday, the Indian women’s hockey team made history by qualifying for their first-ever Olympic semifinal. And now the stage is set as they battle it out against Argentina, on Wednesday, in what seems to be a feisty match.
TheNabhvarnatook everyone by surprise earlier this week when they pipped world no. 2 Australia in the quarterfinal. Thanks to a lone goal from drag-flicker Gurjit Kaur, the blue contingent beat one of the tournament favorites. The winning goal that stunned the Australians came in the 22nd minute of the game from a penalty corner (India’s only such set-piece in the match).
In doing so, the Indian team outperformed their remarkable run at the Moscow Olympics 1980, when they came fourth in the league tournament. Coincidentally, that was also the first time women’s hockey made an appearance in the Olympics.
