India's bronze medal win in the ongoing Olympics marks the country's 13th hockey medal overall, reinforcing its position as the most successful team in the Games. A look back reveals a rich history of podium finishes, spanning nearly a century.

India's hockey dominance began with a GOLD in Amsterdam in 1928, followed by consecutive GOLDs in Los Angeles (1932), Berlin (1936), and London (1948). The winning streak extended with more GOLDs in Helsinki (1952) and Melbourne (1956).

Although the 1960s and 1970s saw a mix of SILVER and BRONZE medals, India clinched another GOLD in Moscow (1980). The recent BRONZE in Tokyo 2021 and the anticipated BRONZE in Paris 2024 continue the legacy of excellence.
