        Excellent save by the Canadian keeper.

            Another save for the Swedish keeper. Fairly easy to pick that one off.

                They could run out of kickers. Has that happened before?

                  Cool as a cool thing. Canada nails the pressure 5th penalty to tie it.

                    The pressure is getting to these girls big time.

                    Canadian keeper saves another.

                    Now Canada can win the gold here.

                            @nostrildamus I was referring to the Latvian javelin thrower in the final. Her name is Madara Palameika.

                              The last 15 mins of ET was more exciting than the penalty shootout. The Swedes were all over Canada and had their chances. I reckon there was only about 2 decent penalties across both teams in the shootout. The last pen was a poor effort too.

                                The final around of the ladies golf will start an hour earlier and off two tees in order to get it all done without being too impeded by the weather

                                Lydia is the last group off 1 with Nellie Korda and Aditi Ashok at 8.18am Nz time. Great chance of a medal if she plays as well as last two days. Let’s go Lydia!

                                  She smashed the front 9 two days ago then the back nine yesterday. Needs to join the two together.

                                      No sorry that was local. 11.18 nz.

                                      First groups off now so 630am local.

                                      Group 13 looks a cracker too. Lexi Thompson, Danielle Kang and Gaby Lopez. Dam I’d love to fill the last spot in that foursome

                                          The higher the level, the faster you're going, so the less room for error.

                                          You see far fewer baton change fuck ups at club/amateur level, simply because they're moving much slower.
