Bengaluru, Dec 4 (TIWN) Experienced goalkeeper in the Indian women's hockey team Rajani Etimarpu feels that good results in the Tokyo Olympics, scheduled for next year, will help in attracting more women players to take up the sport in the country.
"Doing well in the Tokyo Olympic Games will certainly lift the profile of the sport and it will certainly encourage more women to take up hockey," said Rajani who was part of the Indian team that participated in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. "The recognition that the Indian women's hockey has received in these past few years through various awards has already spurred participation of women in the sport and we are certain that through our good performance more women will feel that hockey can be a viable career option," she added.
