Malayalam News – Women hockey team goalkeeper praised by fans after Sreejesh | News18 Kerala, Sports Latest Malayalam News

The Indian women’s hockey team has also advanced to the semi-finals of the Olympics, beating Australia in an exciting quarter-final. For the first time in the history of the Olympics, the Indian women’s hockey team has reached the semi-finals. Although India finished fourth in the 1980 Olympics, only six teams competed in the Games. Earlier, the Indian men’s team had reached the semifinals of the Olympics after a gap of 41 years.

India thrashed Australia in an exciting quarterfinal today. This victory was not what anyone expected. The victory was due to the excellence of the defense. India took the lead first and then blocked the Australian advance. Australia did not come out on top in the penalty corners. Thus, the aspiring team surrendered to India. Indian goalkeeper Savita Poonia’s excellent saves were crucial in India’s victory. This victory may also boost the confidence of the men’s team.

Savita’s resistance in the match is now being praised by the fans on social media. Yesterday Sreejesh today called Savita and the men’s and women’s hockey team filled the posts praising the efforts of the goalkeepers. India thwarted all nine crucial advances made by the Australian side in the match. Savita missed eight penalty corners for Australia. It is also the second Olympics in Savita’s career. Savita also guarded the team’s goal in the last games in Rio.

The Indian women lost the first three matches and won the fourth match by one goal against Ireland. In the decisive match that followed, they defeated South Africa by four goals to three. With this, the Irish team had to lose to Britain if India were to make it to the quarterfinals. So luck was helping India. India have six points from five matches with two wins.

However, after 41 years, the Indian men’s team has reached the Olympic semis. Hockey was one of India’s great events at the Olympics. The Indian hockey team, once undefeated in hockey, has won eight gold medals in Olympic history. But the Indian hockey team, which later fell behind, could not maintain this glory. The Indian team has had a disappointing performance in the last two Olympics

India’s progress continued until the 1980 Moscow Games. But after that it was not a good time for Indian hockey. The Indian hockey team, which failed to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Games, finished last in the points table at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Those were the moments when India was so low in the sport of hockey. But then the Indian team started to perform better. The Indian team is repeating those performances in Tokyo. As a result of these advances, they are now ranked third in the world.
