Maddie Hinch urges Great Britain to focus on ‘massive’ bronze medal match
Great Britain goalkeeper Maddie Hinch
Maddie Hinch has urged Great Britain to keep believing and focus on the “massive” prize of an Olympic hockey medal after their reign as champions was emphatically ended.
Team GB women were crushed 5-1 by semi-final opponents Holland as the Dutch avenged their 2016 Olympic final defeat when goalkeeper Hinch’s heroics during a penalty shoot-out ensured gold medal glory.
Five years on, though, and Britain will contest the bronze medal match against Argentina or India when they return to the Oi Hockey Stadium on Friday.
