Because of the boycott of the United States and other countries, only one team was available to compete in the women's field hockey tournament: the hosting USSR team. 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.[2] Not only was it Zimbabwe's only medal, it was the first medal given for women's field hockey in Olympic history.[3]
Stewart is the mother of international diver Evan Stewart,[4] who competed in three consecutive Summer Olympics for his native country, starting in 1992 in Barcelona, Spain.
