Games
The German team met in their preliminary group against newcomer to the Olympics Zimbabwe , Australia and Canada . After a 6: 1 in the opening game against the Africans, in which Simone Laudehr was injured early after a foul and was also canceled for the remaining games, it was only enough against Australia to a 2: 2 after 0: 2 deficit. Against Canada, the team took the lead early with a penalty that Melanie Behringer converted, but conceded two goals for the first time against the Canadians and couldn't score another goal themselves. This was the first time they lost to the Canadians, who were the only team to win the group without losing points. Since Australia lost 2-0 to Canada and also won 6-1 against Zimbabwe, the German team came in second in the group. In the quarterfinals, China was defeated 1-0, so that it came to revenge against Canada in the semifinals. With a 2-0 victory on the one hand the revenge was successful and on the other hand the final of the Olympic Games was reached for the first time. In the first purely European final, Sweden was defeated 2-1 and won the gold medal for the first time. Melanie Behringer was also the tournament's top scorer with five goals - including two converted penalties. With the final, Silvia Neid's work as national coach ended. She was the only coach to date to lead her teams to Olympic victory, continental championship and world championship.
