Mikey1874 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Bermuda has been sending teams to the Olympics since 1936. It won its first ever Gold medal by Flora Duffy in the triathlon which I think is a pretty good first Gold. There was some excitement to hear its national anthem for the first time at the Games.

John Findlay Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Time to have a,competition for the non-binary athletes then. As them was the only non-binary skateboarder, them is a stick on for the Gold medal. Them shouldn't be in the men's or women's competition as they don't identify as either. Thems the breaks.

Nope, couldn't possibly be for some form of aerodynamic advantage. Interestingly their aerodynamics and tech guru is a british ex rider.

Malinga the Swinga Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 The spinning shot is the tried and tested way to score. The other method is run in and try direct shot, but you have 8 seconds to score and that's a fair bit of time for these standard of players to get keeper to dive. Second GB goal was perfect example of what to do. Turn back, threaten on reverse, then spin back. Keeper needs to cover reverse so you have fraction of second to get spin shot away. GB keeper is top keeper in women's hockey though. Has ability to not commit until last second, and Spain never looked like getting past her. Big semi final against Dutch coming on Wednesday at 11am. Should be close. India surprisingly beat Aussies, so definite medal available, but gold will be hard. Also saw that Dutch cheat win at woman's 5k. If I recall, she was part of Nike Oregon project with Salazar and Mo Farah Long suspected of somewhat dodgy training methods, and she hates being questioned about it.
