Women's hockey:
The Netherlands are the first to score.
0 - 1 NLDisappointing. On the flip side some of the Dutch girls are quite hawt
I stayed in these same hotel as the Dutch field hockey team once in the Nehtherlands.
Many of them, are indeed, seriously seriously hot. On the flip side, the shortest one was about 6ft 1.
How is that a flip side?
I'm more Gianfranco Zola than Peter Crouch. I looked absurd queuing for my omelette.

Just watched the +86kg mixed weightlifting. Tbh I’m not really sure if Hubbard is out of place. It’s hard to even know what species these athletes are.
Edit. She’s gone. Seems she’s constantly plagued by injury, which isn’t surprising given her age and the event.

Hubbard fails to complete a single lift in the snatch.
Huh? I just watched her lift 125? Wasn't that the snatch?
Edit- Did it not count, I see she's not on the leaderboard

I haven’t seen her but the American must be pushing that as well! Her food bill must be massive.

Failed in the snatch department.

@kiwimurph didn't see any clear break in the elbows, so I'm not sure what the issue was? Pretty stink to dnf

The issue is Hubbard took a female's position at the games.

Sure, and that does suck, but at least she didn't steal someone's medal, that would have been much worse.
