The Netherlands secure historic Olympic hockey double. The men’s team won gold beating Germany the women’s teams by beating China 3-1 on penalties in the final. In the Bronze Men’s India beat Spain 2-1 to win Bronze and Women’s hockey Argentina defeated Belgium 3-1 on penalties.
An ugly brawl broke out in the Men’s hockey final at the Olympic games. The Dutch beat their German rivals 3-1 shootout following a 1-1 draw with Duco Telgenkamp firing the final penalty shot past goalkeeper Jean-Paul Danneberg.
Telgenkamp then got in Danneberg’s face afterwards with a shushing gesture, triggering feisty scenes as Niklas Wellen rushed over to defend his goalkeeper. The Dutchman’s jeer is in response to Danneberg’s pre-match comments, in which he suggested the Netherlands were afraid of the German team.
