    Read the passage carefully and answer the questions:
    The game of hockey emerged from a number of ball and stick games played by British from the 17thcentury onwards. The first rules, written in the mid-1850s, refer to a "cricket ball painted white" as he object used. The first hockey club, black health, was formed on common ground used as a golf course. The game was exported by British to Australia and India. Hockey was first contested in Britain at the 1908 Olympic Games in London, where the hosts fielded three teams - England, Ireland and Scotland and won the medals. It reappeared in 1920 and its unbroken run on the Olympic schedule began in 1928, when India won the first of five consecutive Olympic titles. Women's hockey was first contested in 1980. Perhaps the most noteworthy women's match was Australia's victory over South Korea in the 1988. The Korean women had trained virtually full time hoping to win the gold medal at home and were offered rich rewards, but the Australians were too good in the final.
