About Ann Grant

  • Ann-Mary Gwynne Grant (née Fletcher; born May 6, 1955) is a former field hockey player from Zimbabwe, who captained the national team that won the gold medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. Because of a boycott by western European, Australasian and other countries, the Women's Field Hockey Tournament contained fewer teams than normal.
  • A late request was sent to the government of Zimbabwe, which quickly assembled a team less than a week before the competition started.
  • To everyone's surprise they won, claiming Zimbabwe's only medal in the 1980 Games.
  • Grant captained the team. Grant is the sister of former Zimbabwe cricketer and India cricket coach Duncan Fletcher.
