    https://www.1news.co.nz/sport/ Watching the games in Oz is insufferable, Channel 9 News in particular, virtually hijacked by reports on the games, reporting like no other country was in the Olympics and not even putting on much news. Gave a whole lot of their journalists including the weatherman a cushy gig in Paris.

      If Lisa happens to win her eighth gold in the individual she will slot into the alltime list at 16th - pushing Usain Bolt down to 17th, by dint of having a bronze medal that Usain doesn't have! 🙂

          Big pressure on Fisher now. After having beat Carrington in the lead up, she will expect much. But the Olympics are Lisa's party, I hope whatever happens we get a NZ 1-2, and I wouldn't bet against the Dame

                      11th on the medal table. With a solid haul of gold and silver. Think Germany is too far ahead to get any higher up.

                          Lydia drops a shot to give up outright lead.

                          Now 4 tied for 1st

                            A couple of the joint leaders drop shots, so it’s Lydia and Uribe out in front.

                              Great approach shot by Lydia. Chance for a birdie
