Golf on now. Remember Rose taking gold in Brazil…well deserved. Found McIlroy annoying….swapped to ROI and then let them down by refusing to go. I know there was the zika (sp) issue, but all the other athletes decided to go.
 
Absolutely unbelievable that women are being forced to fight against men.

The female boxers should all walk out imo.

Disgraceful from everyone involved in organising what has been a decent tournament so far.
 
GB best France 2-1 in the hockey. Some of the rules remain an absolute mystery to me, but was quite exciting all the same.
I played hockey for 5 years…all I remember is mud, cold, pain and smelly socks. Modern hockey looks like hockey for wimps (joking). I never learnt the rules, but pretty sure they’ve added some more since then.

When I was in the 6th form a group of us cocky lads got a team together and challenged the girls’ First XI to a game of hockey. Big mistake, we didn’t realise that the sticks were offensive weapons in the hands of experts. I ended up bruised from head to foot, and the score was a complete humiliation.
