New Delhi. The number of medals for India in the Paris Olympics has not increased yet and currently the needle is stuck at 3 bronze medals. In many sports, the Indian team and players missed the medal after coming very close. So far, it has happened 5 times in total, in which Indian players missed the bronze medal by being at the fourth position. This picture can change now and that too within about one and a half hours on Tuesday night, 6 August. Yes, the wait and restlessness of Indian players and fans for the medal can end tonight because two such matches are going to be held, where medals will be confirmed as soon as they win, that too with a new color. The matches are of hockey and wrestling, in which Indian players have presented some surprising results with amazing performances.
Vinesh will win the fight in Paris
On Tuesday night, there could be double good news for India from Paris and it could start with wrestling. Last year, the biggest rebellion was seen in Indian sports, which was led by star wrestler Vinesh Phogat. The same Vinesh Phogat, who could not fulfill her expectations in the last 2 Olympics. On whom many kinds of allegations were being made. Not only this, when the draw of her weight category, 50 kg, came in the Olympics, it was assumed that she would lose in the first round itself, but she presented the most sensational result from India in this Olympics.
In the very first round, Vinesh was up against Yui Susaki of Japan. The same wrestler who has won the World Championship four times, won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics and did not lose a single match in 82 matches in international wrestling. Despite trailing 0-2 in a thrilling match, Vinesh created a stir by winning it 3-2 in the last 10 seconds. With this, Vinesh made it to the quarter-finals. Here she defeated Oksana of Ukraine 7-5 in another strong match. Now Vinesh will enter the semi-finals, where she will face a Cuban wrestler. That means Vinesh is just one win away from ensuring a medal. With a win in the semi-finals, she will reach the final, where she will be sure to get either a gold or silver medal.
This miracle will happen in hockey after 44 years
Vinesh’s match will start at 10.15 pm and its result will be out within the next 10 minutes. Then the match will start, for which people have been waiting since Sunday. Vinesh made it to the semi-finals by winning both her matches in a single day, but the hockey team has reached this semi-final by playing and winning many matches one by one. After defeating Australia after 52 years in the group stage and then defeating Great Britain with only 10 players in the quarter-finals, the morale and expectations of the Indian team as well as the fans are high.
From 10.30 pm on Tuesday, the Indian hockey team will enter the field carrying the burden of expectations of 140 crore people, where it will face the current world champion Germany. In the last Olympics, it was the German team that India defeated in a thrilling fashion by 5-4 to win the hockey medal after 41 years. Then Team India ended the medal drought by winning bronze, now it has a chance to claim the gold medal after 44 years by defeating Germany. Whether it is gold or silver, the medal will be confirmed, it just needs to overcome Germany. That means India can get 2 big medals on Tuesday night.
