Honour the Indians who didn’t win any medals at the Olympics

Live Mint  

It’s been 10 days since the heroes of the Tokyo Olympics returned home. Now my body is not broken, but I’m truly broken.” From the men’s football team at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, to Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna in the mixed doubles event at 2016 Rio, India has had a long tryst with the fourth-place finishes. It was the run to the semi-final by the women’s hockey team that proved to be the most stirring tale of India’s Tokyo Olympics. “In my career, I’ve never seen anyone getting up at 7 in the morning to watch a women’s hockey match,” Rampal after arriving in India. The love, respect, and honour we’ve gotten upon returning feels like we’ve won a medal.” The team took on defending champions Great Britain for the bronze medal playoff and narrowly lost 3-4.
