Hockey: Olympic Bronze Medallist India All-set To Defend Title At Asian Champions Trophy
Moqi Hockey Training Base: The stage is set for the prestigious Men's Asian Champions Trophy which will begin on Sunday here at the picturesque Moqi Hockey Training Base which overlooks the Nierji Dam in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia in China.
Reigning Olympic bronze medallist India start as favourites to defend the title while hosts China, Japan, Pakistan, Korea and Malaysia have arrived with hopes of a grand outing in the marquee tournament.
Last year, India won the title at home, making them the only team to bag four titles in the history of the tournament. The team's skipper Harmanpreet Singh is keen on continuing India's dominance in the continental championships this year too. He said, "The Asian Champions Trophy last year gave us the right momentum going into the Asian Games and followed it up with the Olympic Games triumph of standing on the podium yet again. This time too, we want to begin the fresh Olympic cycle by winning this tournament."
