German great retires
German great Natascha Keller set up a goal with her very last touch Wednesday as she bowed out of women's international hockey with a world-record 425 caps.
Keller, 35, presented a clear scoring opportunity to Marie Mavers, who gobbled up the chance in the last minute. The 2004 champions beat South Korea 4-1 in the Olympic classification match for seventh and eighth place.
Keller also had several scoring attempts but she was unable to add to her 204 international goals, clocked up during her 425 indoor and outdoor women's hockey appearances.
German captain Fanny Rinne, 32, who won gold alongside Keller at Athens 2004, got on the scoresheet with a low corner strike as she also played her last international.
