Indian women hockey team created history on Monday (August 2) at the Tokyo Olympics, when they entered the Olympics semifinals for the first time in their history. The Rani Rampal-led Indian team defeated world No. 2 Australia 1-0 in the quarterfinal clash thanks to Gurjit Kaur's 22nd-minute strike. India's best result was a fourth place finish in a round-robin competition with six teams in the 1980 Olympic Games.
