Indian hockey is on the upswing in general and men's hockey in particular and former India skipper and star halfback Manpreet Singh feels he got lucky with the back-to-back double Olympic medals in an exclusive interview with The Free Press Journal.
"What can I say. Initially, when we won the medal in Tokyo, it was unbelievable since we had won the medal after so many years. As an athlete, it's a dream for everyone to win an Olympic medal. I'm very lucky that I was able to win two back-to-back Olympic medals. Hockey has a rich history in our country and we are happy that we have been able to revive that in the country. Whenever we go somewhere outside and when people tell us that you have revived hockey it is a great feeling for us."
Manpreet also stated that clinching the Asian Champions Trophy title this year after winning yet another Olympic medal has been a result of a sea change in terms of confidence.
