In a tricky tournament, India eye an Olympic berth

Hindustan Times  

Janneke Schopman, head coach of the Indian women's hockey team, believes the past does not matter. Indian women's hockey team captain Savita Punia with teammate Bichu Devi Kharibam and head coach Janneke Schopman during a training session ahead of the FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers 2024 match against USA You'd perhaps still remember images, heartbreaking and heartwarming alike, of the women's team losing a hard-fought bronze medal play-off at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and finishing a punching-above-the-weight fourth. Schopman, coach of that USA side who has since switched dugouts, will hope there is far lesser drama in store this time for the Indian team that kicks off its FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers in Ranchi against the same team on Saturday. It’s a tricky tournament, one that the women’s team would not have hoped to be a part of leading up to the Asian Games last year. That this Indian team already has a feel for Ranchi's Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astroturf Hockey Stadium and its usually packed stands, through the ACT outing in October, could help.
