• Australia's women beaten 3-2 by team coached by Alyson Annan
• Hockeyroos have exited at last-eight stage at six straight Games

Retiring Hockeyroos captain Jane Claxton has unloaded after two "strange and worrying" decisions in a shock 3-2 loss to China that bounced them out at the quarter-final stage of a sixth-straight Olympics.

Australia scored first but held the lead for just one minute in Paris on Monday morning, China seizing control in an upset reminiscent of the Hockeyroos' shock loss to India at the same stage in Tokyo three years ago.
