The South African men's hockey team was greeted by a small crowd at OR Tambo International airport this morning on its return from Japan, having qualified for the London Olympics.
The SA team won their Olympic qualifier tournament on Sunday, beating hosts Japan 2-1 in the final.
South Africa finished the tournament as the only unbeaten team in six matches.
The SA men emulated the feat of the SA women's hockey team who won their international qualifying tournament in March to also book their ticket to the London Olympics.
