A 41-year wait is over for India, who claimed its 12th Olympic medal in men's field hockey with a 5-4 win over Germany in Japan on Wednesday.
India won gold its 11th Olympic medal in men's field hockey in 1980 and surely didn't expect to wait four-plus decades for the next one.
The nation that won medals in 10-straight games and took home eight golds between 1928 and 1980 stopped a powerful German streak. Germany does not win a medal for the first time since 2000.
Down 3-1 after 25 minutes, India scored the next four goals to claim a lead that would last the rest of the match.
Simranjeet Singh scored two goals for India, whose coach Graham Reid won a silver medal for Australia at Barcelona 1992.
