Hockey Codes

Alexandra Chick, known as Sandra or Sandy Chick (born 2 June 1947), is a former field hockey player from Zimbabwe who was a member of the national team that won the gold medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. Her identical twin sister Sonia Robertson was one of her teammates in Moscow, and the two are described as the first twin gold medalists in hockey. The women's tournament was reduced to a handful of teams by the Western boycott, and Zimbabwe, invited late and assembled in a matter of weeks, won it to claim the country's only medal of the 1980 Games. Olympedia lists her in all five of Zimbabwe's matches with one goal, and also notes that she represented Zimbabwe at basketball.
