The Women's Black Sticks head to the Rio Olympics chasing history. No women's team has ever won a medal before, and the disappointment of a semi-final shootout loss and a bronze medal match defeat in London is still fresh.

Since then the team have recorded some of their best ever results, included a second place finish at the World League Final last year.  

In the sixth of Newshub's Rio series, midfielder Anita McLaren (formerly Punt) explains how the fourth ranked Black Sticks are preparing for their shot at the podium.
