    Women's hockey:

    The Netherlands are the first to score.
    0 - 1 NL

    Disappointing. 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?

      Women's football:
      The Yanks are out!! They lost 0 - 1 to Canada in the semi-final.

      Edited to add that the other semi-final is between Sweden and Australia (11.00pm NZT).

      Kinda pleased about that

      If they are honest they probably didn't deserve much better

            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

                                    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 πŸ˜‚

                                    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.

                                        Ironically the biological male is probably the most female looking of the lot.

                                          I just read today that she isn't the only trans at the Olympics. A former chick playing for Canadian women's soccer, identifies an non binary I think, had her boobs removed. There was an alternate who could have competed in the BMX freestyle. Unfortunate for Hubbard to inherit her fathers hairline when she is trying to be a women. Doesn't have the budget of Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner.
