Maddie Hinch

BRITISH hockey hero Maddie Hinch hailed Great Britain’s gold medal triumph at the Rio Olympics as a learning experience today as she prepared to hopefully do it all over again.

Hinch remembers six months of “madness” after she saved all four penalties during a shootout for gold against Holland in 2016.

A new campaign begins tomorrow as the British women’s squad launch their Olympic title defence against Germany in Tokyo.
