Top 10 reasons to watch Women’s Hockey at London Olympics
I don’t really know much about women’s hockey and only follow men’s hockey (I am guilty, sorry) and when I thought about writing a preview about women’s hockey competition, I was totally blank. I had no idea what to talk about women’s hockey and I felt there might be more people out there (only men’s hockey fans) who do not know much about hockey. Still, I thought I’d give it a go and came out with 10 simple reasons to watch women’s hockey.
Let’s check out the top reasons to watch women’s hockey in Olympics.
1. Luciana Aymar (Argentina)
Also known as ‘La Maradona del hockey’ (Maradona of hockey), 35 year old Aymar is one of the best players of modern hockey. Standing at 5’7 ½, this midfielder from Argentina is also one of the beautiful hockey players in the world. Playboy wanted her on its cover but she denied the offer (one of the sad days for hockey fans). It’s not just her beauty which makes the news; she also had a glittering hockey career. Aymar has won three medals in the Olympics (one silver and two bronze), 2010 World Cup, along with seven time FIH player of the year award.
2. Ellen Hoog (Netherlands)
At 5’5”, Ellen Hoog is one of the hottest hockey players in the world. Hoog is also considered as one of the most attractive sportspersons ever, with many netizens giving their support to the claim. Apart from her great looks, she has also won 2006 world Cup and the Gold medal at the last Olympics. At 26, she still has six to eight years of international hockey and surely, the hockey fans from around the world would want her to continue longer.
3. Casey Eastham (Australia)
This 23 year old Australian gives an immediate impression of a cute girl who would spend more time with barbie dolls than holding hockey sticks in her hand. But look again, behind this beautiful face, there is an aggressive hockey player. Casey who feels her best body part are her abs, might not have the idea about the hundred guys who would die at just one look of hers.
4. Georgie Twigg (Great Britain)
A personal favorite of mine from Lincoln, 21 year old Georgie Twigg is the prime example of beauty and brains. She is the youngest member of Great Britain team and has already won silver in Champions Trophy. Last year she also won a bronze in Euro Hockey Championships. It’s not just her beauty which are a talk among the men, Georgie also holds a law degree from the University of Bristol.
5. Sophie Polkamp (Netherlands)
A veteran Dutch hockey player, Sophie is absolutely incredible with guys ogling at her on and off the field. She is surely one of those girls who would attract fans to the stands. She was also a part of 2008 Olympics Gold medal winning Netherlands team.
6. Christina Schutze (Germany)
This 28 year old midfielder from Dusseldorf, Germany was one of the five Olympics sport women from Germany who posed nude for the German edition of Playboy magazine in August. For known reasons, I am not posting her Playboy photo hero but surely, she will make many heads turn when she takes on the field in London Olympics.
7. Naomi Van As (Netherlands)
Another Dutch beauty, Naomi Van As is one of the biggest reasons we should all watch women’s hockey matches at the Olympics. At 29 years, she is the dream girl for most of the hockey fans out there. But alas, she is already taken. Beijing Olympics gold medal winner Naomi is currently dating skating star Sven Kramer. Taken or not, she is definitely one of the star attractions of women’s hockey at Olympics.
8. Gemma Flynn (New Zealand)
Black Sticks’ winger Gemma Flynn is our next member of hockey beauties of London Olympics. Gemma, who plays in the left wing, is well known for for her speed and control. Thanks to London Olympics, she would also be known for her beauty which makes her a perfect combination for any hockey fan.
9. Florencia Habif (Argentina)
Another Las Leonas who makes it to our list of Olympics beauties is 18 year old lass Florencia Habif. Nicknamed ‘Flor’ (flower) for her beauty, Florencia is one of the youngest hockey players in the Olympics but she already has enough experience which makes her a real deal.
10. Ashleigh Nelson (Australia)
Hockeyroos striker Ashleigh Nelson is an absolute stunner. This 24 year old beauty who missed Beijing Olympics, finally gets her chance for play in the Olympics. Since debuting in 2007, she has gone on to become one of the leading goalscorers for Australia.
Getting down to ten was a very difficult task and I had to leave out many beauties to pen this article.
This is a feeble attempt by me to add some glamour in hockey.
