India’s Hockey Bronze: Red Card a ‘Fair Call’, Coach Fulton Explains

India’s hockey team secured a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics, despite a controversial red card issued to defender Amit Rohidas. Coach Craig Fulton maintains the red card was a fair decision, stating it was a result of Rohidas’ raised stick hitting a British player in the face. Fulton also highlighted that a similar offense by Germany resulted in a one-match ban, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the rules of the game. Looking ahead, Fulton emphasizes the need to develop a new team for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, focusing on opportunities for new players. He also expressed confidence in the team’s progress, noting their improvement against formidable opponents like Australia. Fulton highlighted the team’s mental breakthrough and the potential of new players to build a strong team for the future.
