From India, two-time Olympic medal winning hockey players PR Sreejesh and Manu Bhaker have been selected as the Indian flag bearers for the ‘Parade of Nations’ in the closing ceremony.
Sreejesh, famously known as ‘India’s Wall’, ended his career after winning a bronze medal for India in the Olympic Games. In the bronze medal that India won by defeating Spain 2-1 in hockey, Sreejesh foiled many of Spain’s goal attacks. He also made brilliant saves in the quarterfinal shoot-out against Great Britain, in which the Indian hockey team played with 10 players.
