India Women’s Hockey Team creates history

The women have defeated world No. 2 Australia 1-0 to make it to the semifinals of the Olympics for the first time in history.

Hockey: AUS get another penalty corner

Australia appeal for a foul. Review upheld and they get a penalty corner. Team India manage to keep it away from the goalpost again. Three minutes to go, credit to the Indian girls, they have not parked the bus, still looking for a break. They still lead Australia 1-0.

Hockey: Green card

Green card for Nikki Pradhan. She will sit out of the game for two minutes out of the five remaining. The match has become super intense, a foul from Malone and some pressure is relieved off India. India lead 1-0

Hockey: AUS penalty corner

Two good saves by Savita as Australia get two penalty corners after Grace gets whacked on the face down their right. Savita does well to save but India concede another penalty corner. Savita does well to save it again. Crucial minutes of the match left for India.

Hockey Half-time: India 1-0 Australia:

Half time and its India 1 Australia 0. Incredible stuff from India. They needed to play a perfect game to stand a chance and perfect it has been so far. Very even game but India womens 30 minutes away from their biggest moment at the Olympics. A courageous performance by the Indians, need to maintain this sort of aggression in the second half.

Yessss!!! Gurjit Kaur you beauty. Can we dare to dream?? ???

GOAL: India 1-0 Australia:

GOALLLL! Gurjit Kaur dragflick helps India convert the penalty corner and take a crucial 1-0 lead. What a goal, and it comes as a morale-boost for the Indian side playing their first quarterfinal in 41 years.

Hockey: India 0-0 Australia in first quarter

Engrossing first half of the quarterfinal between India and Australia. Both teams hitting the post once. Very high quality overall but nothing to separate. India captain Rani Rampal hit the woodwork and it was the closest we could get to a goal lead

Hockey: Fierce start:

Australia are on the attack from the first whistle. And they start by hitting the post, rattling the Indian defence and giving early reasons to worry to the women in blue. On counter attack, Ranis shot deflects from the goalpost after a wonderful passing from Salima and then by Vandana. Ranis shot deflects from the goalpost.

Shooting: Kneeling round:

Good start by Aishwary as he finishes his first series in kneeling with a score of 99. Just a one 9. – 397/400! The Indian has jumped into second place after the first round of 4 series. Meanwhile, Sanjeev Rajput is in 25th place, fnishing his kneeling round with 387/400. A 96 & 95 never good & he will have a lot to catch up to in the next 2 positions.

Shooting: Aishwary Pratap, Sanjeev Rajput:

Aishwary Pratap and Sanjeev Rajput in 50m Rifle 3 positions qualification action. This is the last event for Indian shooting in Tokyo Olympics.

Rules: It will be played in three rounds - Kneeling, Prone and Standing with 4 series of 10 shots in each round.40×3 = 120 shots. = 1200 pts.
