Tokyo Olympics 2020 News

PR Sreejesh, the goalkeeper for the Indian men's hockey team, has been nominated for the World Games Athlete of the Year award for 2021. The keeper from Kerala had an immense contribution in India's historic bronze medal win at the Tokyo Olympics, where the country won a medal after 40 years.

Recently, in an interview, former Indian women's hockey team coach Sjoerd Marijne had alleged that the SAI had withheld his salary. But now Hockey India has condemned the statement from the ex-coach and said that it is “the malicious attempt to paint a dark picture of Indian sports administration".

Graham Reid feels that the multiple awards won by the national team players at the FIH Hockey Stars Awards is a reflection of the hard work put in by a lot of people in the group. India's Harmanpreet Singh and Gurjit Kaur won the FIH Player of the Year awards in the men's and women's categories.
