The maiden Olympic medal slipped out of the grasp of the Indian women's hockey team as world no.4 Great Britain came out on top in a thrilling encounter. After the match, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the team narrowly missed a medal but it reflects the spirit of new India, "where we give our best and scale new frontiers".

"Their success at #Tokyo2020 will motivate young daughters of India to take up Hockey and excel in it. Proud of this team," PM Modi said in a tweet.
