Heartbreak in the semi-finals, but the fantasy of a hockey medal still alive; athletics disappointments abound.

TOKYO: It was a wake-up call, but the dream isn't over yet, at least not in hockey.


That summed up India's day 11 at the Olympic Games, which saw a slew of dismal results, the most glaring of which was the men's hockey team's 2-5 semifinal loss to world champion Belgium.


That setback ruled out an emotional return to the finals for the eight-time gold medalist after more than four decades, but it did not put an end to his goal of winning a medal.
