Rio Olympics 2016 Hockey: Schedule and timings in IST for men's tournament

India is looking forward to win a medal in Rio Olympics 2016

Hockey has been one of the most prominent games in the Olympic Games since the modern inception of the Games in the last 1800s. India too has had a wonderful run with hockey bringing the lion’s share of the Gold Medals over the years.
