Field hockey at the 1980 Summer Olympics India won the men's tournament for the eighth time, defeating Spain 4–3 in the final. The 1980 Olympic Games also saw the introduction of a women's tournament, which was won by Zimbabwe.
Ice hockey at the Olympic Games In July 1992, the IOC voted to approve women's hockey as an Olympic event; it was first held at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano. The Nagano Organizing Committee was hesitant to include the event because of the additional costs of staging the tournament, but an agreement was reached that limited the field to six teams, and ensured that no additional facilities would be built. The Canadian and American teams have dominated the event, typically losing only to each other. The United States won the first tournament in 1998 and the most recent in 2018. Canada has won all of the other tournaments (2002â€“2014).
