Hockey team had good chance of medal this year: Ashok Kumar

Kolkata, July 15

World Cup-winning hockey legend Ashok Kumar today said it would be difficult for the Indian men’s team to keep up the momentum that seemed good enough for an Olympics medal had the Games been held as scheduled this year.

“If the Olympics were held this year, we definitely had some chance,” Kumar said. “Definitely, there is a break in momentum and it will really make a big difference.” — PTI
