Australia's Kookaburras -- who finished in sixth place in Rio -- remain in first place, but newly crowned Olympic champions Argentina earned enough points to move up five places to second. Argentina's Los Leones sit just ahead of fourth place finishers and now third-ranked Netherlands, with Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medallists Germany moving down one place to fourth in the rankings. Ireland's history-making Olympic performances have also paid off, with a 10th place finish in Rio moving them up to 10th in the rankings table. Another climber is Spain, moving up from 14th to 11th thanks to their eighth place finish at the Olympic Games. The next update to the FIH Hero World Rankings will be published following the completion of the Hockey World League Round 1 events later this year.
