Hockey camp resumes, focus on future events
Indian men’s hockey team chief coach Graham Reid says the focus of the ongoing national camp will be on setting future priorities after the historic bronze medal-winning show at the Tokyo Olympics.
He expressed happiness on the support extended to the players by Sports Authority of India (SAI) Bangalore centre before the Tokyo Olympics despite facing numerous challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The boys are all excited to resume training and we are looking at our future engagements,” Reid said.
After a well-deserved break following the Tokyo Olympics success, the Indian hockey players resumed training. According to a release issued by SAI, all Covid-related protocols were being strictly followed.
The release further stated that all the players and support staff have undergone Rapid Antigen
Test (RAT) and are staying in separate rooms as per quarantine rule. “They are undergoing outdoor training in a different slot and are not mixing with other campers of SAI Bangalore. The revised SOPS of the SAI allows for outdoor training.”
