Argentina won the women's Champions Trophy for the fifth time here on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over Great Britain in the final. The Netherlands claimed the bronze medal by defeating Germany 5-4. Argentina were on top for most of the first half against the British and finally took the lead on their fifth penalty corner with Silvina D'Elia scoring what proved to be the match winner. Coach Carlos Retegui praised the British side, playing in their first Champions Trophy final. "They are one of the candidates to win the gold medal in London (Olympics)," he said. "It was a great match for us. We didn't start this tournament playing very well but my team staff worked very hard preparing each match to reach this moment. "Now we have a lot to do on our way to London. But we will go slowly, because this is a young team." British coach Danny Kerry said that his players had been feeling tired due to the searing heat that marked the tournament.
