Let’s Dream big and Create H.I.S.T.O.R.Y. Tokyo Olympics would be the first ‘gender balanced’ Games ever with participation and Women’s winning ratio more this time. Of 10 iconic Olympic athletes, eight are women and two are men.
It’s been almost a week since we have been listening to the headlines which say,” Who wins Tokyo Olympics 2021?”,” Who won gold for India in Tokyo Olympics?”, etc. And even we are very much curious to know about who makes till the finals are gradually getting revealed day by day. Well, getting more into the highlights then let me tell you that Kamalpreet Kaur finished sixth in the women’s discus throw final with a best throw of 63.70m. After an emotionally charged Sunday, where PV Sindhu won a historic second individual medal (bronze) and the men’s hockey team entered the semifinals after a gap of 49 years, Day 11 went a step further as this time the Indian women’s hockey team made a historic maiden entry into the Olympic semifinals by stunning world No. 2 Australia 1–0 in the quarterfinal.
The 25-year-old Kaur, who has qualified for the final as second-best on Saturday, was never in the running for a medal in the eight rounds of competition which was interrupted by rain for more than an hour.“Sometimes we win, sometimes we learn”.We are proud of all our Athletes for giving their best & representing India at such a big stage. This experience will make them even stronger athletes in the future.

Coming on the other side the brave and determined Indian women’s hockey team etched its name in the history books by entering the Olympic Games semifinals for the first time in the World history, stunning three-time champions and world no.2 Australia 1–0 in an intense last-eight tie here on Monday.
A day after the Indian men’s team entered the Olympic semifinals following a 49-year gap, the world no. 9 women’s side also produced a phenomenally gritty performance to make its way into the last four.
Drag-flicker Gurjit Kaur rose to the occasion when it mattered and converted India’s lone penalty corner in the 22nd minute to surprise the Australians.
Coming into the match, the odds were totally against India as in world no.2 Australia, a mighty unbeaten opponent, awaited them.
t’s been observed that Indians were bold and courageous while defending the opponent and performed really very well in every sphere in the court/battleground. This signifies the essence and Authenticity of our motherland and the tradition of making impossible dreams come true as, “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships .”Likewise, P.V. Sindhu showed enthusiasm and equal efforts to conquer the Game and made it so far in real! Kudos to the cheering Indians and boosting the Athlete's spirit in the court .
Sportsmanship isn’t about criticizing the “ONE” who didn’t win on “That ONE” day… it’s about appreciating and supporting their hard work amidst failures!!!”
