Big Achievement By Indian Hockey During The Last 100 Years, Says Legend Zafar Iqbal
For decades, even before India gained independence, Indian hockey epitomised global sporting excellence. With a proud collection of 13 Olympic medals- 8 gold, 1 silver, and 4 bronze- India established itself as a dominant force in the sport. A key figure in India’s hockey history is the incomparable Iqbal, a gold medallist from the 1980 Moscow Olympics. That year marked India's most recent gold medal at the Summer Olympics.
Iqbal reflected on the majestic 100 years of Indian hockey, stating, “I would say it is a big achievement by Indian Hockey during the last 100 years. If you consider what hockey has done for the country during the last 100 years, we have 8 gold medals in the Olympic Games, and medals at the World Cup too. They have done a great job for the country. They have brought laurels for the country, and no other team in the world has done the same thing in the past 100 years, even if you consider Australia, Germany, Holland, and other great hockey-playing nations.”
