The pain of losing out on an Olympic medal still fresh in her mind, Indian women’s hockey team captain Savita said the Tokyo Games continues to remind them of their unaccomplished mission — finishing at the podium in the quadrennial showpiece.
The Indian women’s hockey team came agonisingly close to winning its maiden Olympic medal but had to be content with a fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Games last year after losing to Great Britain 4-3 in the bronze medal match.
“We still feel the pain of missing an Olympic medal by a whisker and it reminds us every moment that our mission of winning an Olympic medal for the country is still incomplete. We will not rest until then,” Savita told PTI Bhasha from Bengaluru.
“Everyone said that we won hearts in Tokyo but a medal is a medal after all. Only we can feel the pain of not winning a medal despite coming so near. That pain still hurts us.”
The Indian women’s team is all geared up for the World Cup to be held in Spain and the Netherlands from July 1.
