Today (August 3), the Women's Hockey Team made India even more proud by advancing to the semi finals by beating Australia 1-0. India made history by entering into the semis for the first time in the history of Olympics. Both men and women hockey teams in the semifinals of the same Olympics for the first time.

Take a look at some of the Tweets:

Not only has PV Sindhu won a well deserved medal, but also we saw historic efforts by the men’s and women’s hockey teams at the Olympics. I’m optimistic that 130 crore Indians will continue to work hard to ensure India reaches new heights as it celebrates its Amrut Mahotsav.
