The Australian Hockeyroos have been eliminated from the Paris Olympics after a controversial 3-2 quarter-final loss to China. Despite starting strong with a goal from Alice Arnott, the team quickly fell behind as China scored three times, including a disputed goal that sparked outrage among commentators. Tatum Stewart managed to score late in the third quarter, but the Hockeyroos failed to equalize despite several penalty corners in the final minutes. This defeat marks the sixth consecutive time the Hockeyroos have exited the Olympics at the quarter-final stage, mirroring the earlier loss of the Australian men's team to the Netherlands. The outcome has raised concerns about the team's performance, especially in light of their strong pool stage results.
