India’s long run of Olympic field hockey titles is often described as an era of dominance, but I’m curious about what made it possible. Was the main advantage technical skill and playing style, the structure of domestic hockey, or the way the team was selected and prepared?
How much did the move from natural grass to synthetic turf later change the balance of international hockey? I’d be interested in accounts that separate the reasons for India’s early success from the factors behind its later decline.
