Sarah English (born 28 November 1955) 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.[1] She was known as the premier hockey goalkeeper in Zimbabwe.[2]
Due to the boycott of the United States and other countries, only the hosting USSR team and one other team competed in the Women's Field Hockey Tournament. A last-minute request was sent to the Zimbabwean government, which hastily assembled a team less than a week before the competition. Surprisingly, Zimbabwe won the tournament, securing their sole medal at the 1980 Olympics.
