Australia again have both men's and women's teams qualified and both are a chance for medals. Both will need to finish in the top 2 in there pools to advance to the semi-finals. Lets hope our guys and girls can keep the medal run going you have to go back to Moscow 1980 to find a games we didn't win a medal and this was due to the hockey teams boycotting the games.
