Olympics Thread

<p>The blue pitch is dreadful on the eyes</p>

[canefan]

Natalie Rooney, our trap shooting silver medallist had never made the podium at comm games and was controversially omitted from the 2012 Olympic team, good on her

[Crucial]

We are playing USA. <br>
I think the session starts at that time but we are the last game and scheduled to start 1 hour later.

[hydro11]

<p>We are at 9:30. First two quarters all ready down.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>They are running a bit late, it seems.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>A few errors early on from the Black Ferns.</p>

[Billy Tell]

<p>Forced to watch this on the BBC....with Woodward :(</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Try on the hooter. We finally kept the ball and Woodman got on the outside.</p>

[canefan]

Woodman has gas. How high are the yanks ranked?

<p>They came 6th in the World Series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some bad tactics from teams in the women's game.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Down to 6 women now. We haven't played well at all.</p>

<p>drew with the Aussies didn't they?</p>

[booboo]

Score and time?

[hydro11]

<p>Through to the semis 5-0. Bad performance though.</p>

[Billy Tell]

<p>That was too close for comfort.</p>

[booboo]

I'll take a bad win. Yanks drew with Aus so not too shabby.

[canefan]

Far from convincing but a win is a win. Great courage and desperation on defence during the last couple of minutes but we made too many errors. Flush the dunny and move on

[Stargazer]

<p>A win's a win. If the USA drew with Oz, then I think this was a good result. They'll need to play much better in the semis though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The semi-final v Great Britain is tomorrow morning at 6.00am NZT.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>Poor vaulter (gym version) with a nasty break, then the Ambulance crew drop his stretcher as they put him in the Ambulance!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Image in the article of the break if you are squeamish.</p>
