  Last time India played hockey semifinals

  India last played Hockey semifinals in 1972 which they lost against Pakistan. India won gold medal in 1980 Moscow Olympics-- but in that year, there were only six teams participating with 9 of the original 12 teams participating pulling out due to protests against USSR. Hence, the semifinals stage did not happen that year, and it was a straight final between India and Spain after Round Robin stage.
