Forward Shamsher Singh on Monday said winning the Olympic bronze medal was just ticking off one box in the new beginning for the Indian men’s hockey team, which aspires to be the World No. 1 side.

The men’s hockey team produced an inspiring performance at the Tokyo Games, where it edged out Germany 5-4 to claim a bronze medal, the country’s first in the sport in 41 years.

“We still have a lot of targets to achieve as a team. We have ticked off the target of winning an Olympic medal but we have been striving to be the best side in the world in the last few years,” said Shamsher.

“We are confident that if we keep improving match by match, then one day we will surely be the world number 1 team,” he added.
