“It is not possible to judge our performance by the number of medals alone. Because many of our players have missed medals from very close. Somewhere there is a gap of one second and somewhere one centimeter, but in the future we will cover that too, I believe in you.
PM Modi said, ‘We are strengthening those sports which have been our strength. At the same time, we are also leaving our mark in new sports. I appreciate the effort, hard work and mood of both the teams of our country for the way we are regaining our heritage in hockey.
