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
Yeah too much arm wobble. Should have challenged it.
Bloody hell. What a lot of angst for nothing in the end, you have to laugh 😂
The issue is Hubbard took a female's position at the games.
Ironically the biological male is probably the most female looking of the lot.
Great Silver for Emily Campbell GB
Tremendous Olympic Record for Li Wen Wen of China

Women's football semi-final:
FT: Australia 0 - 1 Sweden
So the final on Friday (2.00pm) will be between Sweden and Canada.
Australia will play the USA for bronze on Thursday (8.00pm).A couple of cracking games.
Aussie trying for their first ever medal in women’s football. USA. They’ve never been this far before. USA form has been very up and down, but they’ve had so much success.
Neither Sweden or Canada have won gold. Sweden will be looking to go one better than Rio when they lost to Germany in gold medal race. Canada won bronze in both Rio and London, so have been knocking on the door for a while.

Australians lose to Sweden, "controversially." Do Australians ever lose something that is not controversial?

This should be good, real good.
The russian has beaten Nyika before but it was close. Pretty sure Nyika thinks he has the goods to beat him now. Here's hoping!

He’d be a light heavyweight in the pro ranks if I’m not mistaken ?
Also ( for a fight fan I know fuck all about the admin side of what happens in boxing ) how is he competing in the olympics when he has fought as a pro ?

Just one of those random rules of the Olympics.....the golfers and tennis players are pros, some of the football players are pro's, basketballers for some countries....pros.

Full time:
The Netherlands 3 - 0 New ZealandThe Dutch progress to the semis, the Kiwis are out.
Can't really complain. The Dutch were just so much better.NZ paid the price for those loses to Spain and China after a great start. Finishing 4th in their pool meant playing one of the big guns in the QF.

She was saying the other day how her team have everything planned to the minute and she is confident. They have trained to perform at these intervals as they knew the schedule well in advance.
