The German hockey men really deserved their acclaimed Olympic quarter-final victory against the still Olympic champion Argentina. A convincing performance led her to the semi-finals, which greatly increased her chances of getting another medal. After gold in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012, five years ago in Rio was just enough to get a bronze. Now the victory over the mighty Australians should bring home the silver at least. This will be the fifth consecutive medal at the Olympic Games.

But with Australia, the championship tree has not been an easy task for German hockey players. After the group stage undefeated, Colin Bach’s side had to shiver again in the quarter-finals. Only in the penalty shootout did Down Under defeat the European champions from the Netherlands and now meet the German team. The last opponent is already certain: in the second semi-final, Belgium clearly won 5: 2 against India.
