The Indian women’s hockey team created history after winning the quarter-finals, but the team lost to Argentina in the semi-final match. After this match on Wednesday, Team India was disappointed, but the performance of the women’s team was appreciated by all.

The Indian women’s hockey team’s previous best performance in the Olympics was in the 1980 Moscow Olympics when it finished fourth among six teams. Women’s hockey then made its Olympic debut and matches were played on a round-robin basis, with the top two teams progressing to the final. This time Team India was expected to reach the final, but the team was eliminated after losing in the semi-finals itself. Now the team is eyeing the bronze medal.
