Women’s hockey: India have enjoyed a fabulous time of it at the Oi Hockey Stadium at Tokyo 2020 and the nation’s women are having a fair old go at emulating the men’s team, leading Team GB 3-2 at half-time of their bronze medal encounter.
The Brits were all over the opening exchanges as they opening up a 2-0 lead, but a flurry of strikes – three in four minutes, if you don’t mind! – have handed India the edge at the long break.
Thanking you, Bryan. Beach volleyball, anyone?
The bronze medal has gone to Switzerland, with Joana Heidrich (spelling is close enough to say no relation) and Anouk Vergé-Dépré beating the Latvians, Tina Graudina and Anastasija Kravcenoka, in straight sets to claim their nation’s first women’s beach volleyball medal. The big one, USA v Australia, is now less than half an hour away. Get excited.
