Field Hockey Rules Part 2 Quiz
Field Hockey Rules Part 2 Quiz. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Dutch striker Teun de Nooijer described how teams began fearing the drag and flick during penalty corner routines. Specialists such as Floris Jan Bovelander had already shown in earlier Olympic tournaments that a well executed short corner could decide medals. By Sydney, nations were selecting dedicated drag and flick experts whose only role was converting penalty corner chances under pressure. Matches often turned on a single clean injection and stop before the flick. This growing reliance on the penalty corner reshaped training priorities worldwide. Coaches began designing entire defensive structures just to prevent conceding a short corner in dangerous areas near goal.
