The Netherlands women's hockey team secured a dominant 3-0 victory over China, ensuring their spot in the quarter-finals at the Olympic Games. Meanwhile, the men's team reached the final after a commanding 4-0 win against Spain, marking their first Olympic final appearance since 2012 and aiming to break a 24-year gold medal drought. Great Britain's women faced a tough challenge against the Dutch, who have been undefeated in Olympic matches since 2004, ultimately losing despite a spirited fightback led by Hannah French's equalizer. The men's team, however, fell short against India in the quarter-finals, unable to capitalize on India's early red card, leading to a disappointing exit after a shootout. Overall, the Dutch teams continue to showcase their prowess in hockey, while Great Britain reflects on missed opportunities in both men's and women's competitions.
