The history-making Indian women’s hockey team’s dream of securing its maiden Olympic medal remained unfulfilled as it lost 3-4 to Great Britain in a hard-fought bronze play-off, but the stout-hearted side managed to record its best ever finish at the Games last week.

Earlier in the day, Chouhan and Sagar planted a sapling at the Smart City Park here.

आज हम सभी के लिए गौरव का क्षण है। मध्यप्रदेश की शान, ओलंपिक पदक विजेता भारतीय हॉकी टीम के सदस्य श्री विवेक सागर के साथ नीम व कदंब का पौधा रोपा है। इस अभियान से जुड़ने के लिए उन्हें धन्यवाद। ये पौधे #Tokyo2020 में भारत की अविस्मरणीय विजय के बारे में याद दिलाते रहेंगे।#OnePlantADay pic.twitter.com/H9XpwGpY7B
