<p>I asked the same thing in 2012. :whistle:</p> -
<p>Well, that sucks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Val put in a big second shot - no-one else got close for half an hour and it looked in the bag. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>THEN - second to last throw of the night - Carter pulls a huge one out - more than half a metre further than her previous best.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Leaving Val, who'd be sitting there smiling for about the last half hour, with the last throw of the nightto pull it back. She threw the third 20+ metre, but not good enough and it's another silver.</p> -
How awesome is it to have all these people in an array of sports in the top 2 in the Olympics, and only being beaten by massive efforts. <br><br>
Well done team -
Damn. Freakish effort by Carter. Well done.<br><br>
Bad luck Val. -
Cypress Hill screeching out seconds after Singapore touch for their first ever gold. It's just fucking awful, what's wrong with letting the crowd be?

<p>Well, that was tense. Brazil wins penalty shootout 8-7 after their keeper made two saves and ours only made 1. We had the chance to win it with our fifth shot but the Brazil keeper read it better. They go on to meet Sweden.</p>

<p>Don't want to sound like a NZ Rugby 7s aficionado, but some fairly unfriendly refereeing. This could have made all the difference:</p>

Yeah, clear foul in the box, but no way the ref was calling it in front of that rabid crowd. Penalty shootout is always a shitty way to go out.
