A few facts from FIH: Hosts China will play their first ever Olympic Hockey final and will collect their first ever medal in Olympic Hockey. Netherlands are only the second team to reach back-to-back Olympic finals. Before 2008, that feat had only been achieved by Australia, the 1996-2000 Hockeyroos. At Athens 2004, the Dutch went down 2-1 against Germany. The Netherlands will collect a record sixth Olympic medal. So far they have won one gold (1984), one silver (2004) and three bronze (1988, 1996 and 2000).
