I could not stop shedding tears, says the winger who won bronze in 1972
Indian men’s heady hockey bronze medal win in the Tokyo Olympics was all about raw emotions. After India’s sensational 5-4 win over Germany in the bronze medal play-off, V.J. Phillips wept in relief and joy. “I could not stop shedding tears. For me the win was equivalent to India winning the World Cup in Kuala Lumpur in 1975, a competition where I took part. Now, it seemed as if I had won the bronze,” Phillips said to The Hindu on Friday.More Related News
