Christopher Zeller

Sport: Field Hockey

Nation: Germany

DOB: September 14, 1984

Career Highlights: Zeller will be making his third Olympic appearance for the German national team as he looks to help the country defend the gold medal it claimed in Beijing four years ago. Zeller made his national team debut in 2003 and quickly took home a bronze at the Athens Games the following year. Shortly after, the striker took his game to the next level, winning the FIH Young Player of the Year in 2006 after Germany finished first at the World Cup. He scored nine goals in that competition, including twice in the championship game. His biggest goal, however, came two years later as he tallied the only score in Beijing's gold-medal match victory over Spain. Zeller's brother Philipp is also on the team.
