To Celebrate 100 Years In A Sport Is Great Achievement, Says Ashok Kumar, World Cup Winner In 1975
Balbir Singh Sr: For many decades, early in the last century, Indian hockey was considered to be the gold standard. With a tally of eight gold medals, six of them in a row, one silver, and four bronze, totalling 13 medals at the Olympic Games, India has well and truly set the standards.
And someone who watched it from very close quarters for a long time is Ashok Kumar, an Olympic medallist in 1972 in Munich and a World Cup winner in 1975, and also the son of the legendary Dhyan Chand.
In 1928, the Indian men’s hockey team won its first Olympic gold medal, and until 1960, the Indian Men’s Hockey Team remained unbeaten at the Olympics, winning six gold medals on the bounce.
