Australia win Olympic hockey gold
ATHENS, Aug 27: Australia won the Olympic men's hockey tournament for the first time in history on Friday, beating the Netherlands 2-1 with a golden goal.
Australia had previously won three silvers and three bronzes but the gold had remained elusive until young striker Jamie Dwyer fired in a penalty corner in extra time.
