Relive the Kookaburras bronze medal from Sydney 2000
Published Fri 16 Oct 2020
Watch a full replay of the Kookaburras winning bronze at Sydney 2000 right here courtesy of the Olympic Channel.
Beaten in heartbreaking fashion in the semi final against the Netherlands in a match that was decided by penalty strokes, the disappointment spurred the Kookaburras to turn in one of their best performances of the tournament in the battle for bronze against Pakistan.
The nature of the Kookaburras’ loss to the Netherlands highlighted the extremely fine line between victory and defeat, but there would be no nail biting repeat in the bronze medal match in front of a packed house at the Sydney Olympic Park Hockey Centre.
So for possibly the first time since the event, get comfortable and enjoy a full replay of the Kookaburras against Pakistan and a dominant display from the host nation.
