That was one of the highlights for sure, was on the edge of my seat for most of the match and the penalty shoot out. I used to play myself through school and university so still have a fondness for the game. Whole team played so well, especially the keeperAmor Vincit Omnia wrote:Best moment of the Olympics!

Re: The Rio Olympics
Really enjoyed the Women's Triathlon.
There was almost a 'fight' between Jorgensen and Spirig on the last lap.
Best friends and housemates Holland and Stanford had to sprint each other for the line before the former took bronze.

Re: The Rio Olympics
Joyce took silver....I think he was a little unlucky, the judges scoring of the first round in particular seemed wrong IMHO.tempusmaximus wrote:Good luck Joe Joyce , in the final of the super heavyweight boxing .
Overall though GB have finished SECOND in the medal table, ahead of China and a total of 67 medals, 2 more than London. What a fantastic effort

Re: The Rio Olympics
It's been a great games, especially the cycling.
It's going to be strange to go back to normal TV again.

Re: The Rio Olympics
Totally agree , the scoring has been poor in a couple of fights imo .Thegreyman wrote:the judges scoring of the first round in particular seemed wrong IMHO.
I think the stand out moment during the Rio Olympics , has to be the womens field hockey final , truly nail biting .

Re: The Rio Olympics
It has been a great Olympics, particularly for Team GB.
My standout moment was the men's keirin, with its two stoppages and restarts, before Jason Kenny won his 6th gold medal. Great drama.
Really looking forward to the Paralympics next (what's left of it!).
