TOKYO, Aug 5, (AP): The celebrations started simul- taneously in Tokyo and across India for a bronze medal that’s taken 41 years to forge. For the most successful nation in Olympic fi eld hockey competition, India’s 5-4 victory over Germany in the bronze-medal match at the Tokyo Games was celebrated like a gold. It was India’s 12th Olympic medal in the sport, but its fi rst since 1980. India rallied from 3-1 down and then fended off a German penalty corner in the last few sec- onds. Meanwhile, Belgium defeat- ed Australia in a shootout to win gold in men’s fi eld hockey. The score was tied 1-all at the end of regu- lation before Warner Belgium won the shootout 3-2. Alexander Hendrickx scored the penalty stroke that put Bel- gium ahead in the shootout and Vin- cent Vanasch got the clinching save. Belgium were the 2016 Olympic runners-up.
