Well done.
USA!! USA!! USA!!
Although we seemed to have a problem in boxing - we should have kicked
major butt with the talent they took over, but it didn't turn out that
way.
And got to see some really interesting sports this time around - for
instance, I never knew there was male field hockey. Or handball which
is a kind of basketball/soccer/hockey hybrid which I guess is popular
in Europe. Some really good soccer matches and for once, they
actually covered the velodrome events instead of ignoring it.
I watched one of the handball contests .... I think it was Denmark against
somebody.
I don't think I had ever seen "handball" before. It struck me as a cross
between basketball and hockey.
Very athletic game.
