Field Hockey
History: The game of hockey emerged from a number of ball and stick games
played by the British from the seventeenth century onwards. The first rules,
written in the mid-1850s, refer to a "cricket ball painted white" as the object used.
The first hockey club, Blackheath, was formed on a common ground used as a golf
course. The game was exported by the British to Australia and India.
At the Olympics: Hockey was first contested in Britain at the 1908 Olympic
Games in London, where the hosts fielded three teams-England, Ireland and
Scotland-and won the medals. It reappeared in 1920 and its unbroken run on
the Olympic schedule began in 1928, when India won the first of five consecutive
Olympic titles.
Women's hockey was first contested in 1980. Perhaps the most noteworthy
women's match was Australia's victory over South Korea in the 1988 Olympics.
The Korean women had been trained virtually full-time, hoping to win the gold
medal at home and were offered rich rewards, but the Australians were too good
in the final.
