The Hockeyroos have made their best start to an Olympics, scraping a 1-0 win over New Zealand to make it four straight victories in Tokyo.

The three-time Olympic champions entered the Games under pressure, with a new coach and their culture in question after claims of body-shaming and bullying led to an external review.

But they have powered to the top of their pool with an 11-1 differential after four games, with two-time Olympic champion Katrina Powell now eyeing another medal as coach.

The Hockeyroos had 15 circle penetrations to New Zealand's five, with Emily Chalker's neat deflection from a tight angle the difference in another tense clash between the trans-Tasman rivals.
