A look at all-time Olympic medal standings in hockey

Field hockey was first introduced as a men's event in the 1908 Olympics but until 1920, it was on and off from the Olympic calendar because of no proper sporting structure. Women's hockey made the cut much later in the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

Men's field hockey has been part of 24 editions of the Olympics and Women's hockey has been part of 10 editions of the Olympics. India is the most successful team in this sport at the Olympics with 11 medals. Let's see the other countries who had won medals at Olympics.
