<p>The 2 road races have been excellent viewing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Incredible finish to the women's race.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plus a sickening crash to the race leader 15 minutes or so before the end, I genuinely hope not fatal.</p>

<p>Reportedly "OK". Was conscious going into the ambo.</p>

<p>That was a nasty crash. She was just rag-dolled upside down on the kerb. I thought her back landed hard on the edge as well.</p>

<p>NZ men's hockey just scored a spectacular equaliser against the poms if you aren't watching the game I suggest you look it up.</p>

<p>was listening to that on the way to work, we had a man in the bin at the time too didn't we?</p>

We're up 2-1 with 6 minutes to play

Crucial

<p>In the lead now. Another cracking goal.</p>
<p>Hockey is a pretty hard and super fast game now. The fitness levels must be way up there as sports go.</p>

We get a guy sent to the bin and GB score from long range 2-2 with under 5 to play

We're on the rack a bit, GB pressing us hard

2-2half time. I'm tired just watching

<p>The blue pitch is dreadful on the eyes</p>

Natalie Rooney, our trap shooting silver medallist had never made the podium at comm games and was controversially omitted from the 2012 Olympic team, good on her

Crucial

We are playing USA. <br>
I think the session starts at that time but we are the last game and scheduled to start 1 hour later.

<p>We are at 9:30. First two quarters all ready down.</p>

<p>They are running a bit late, it seems.</p>

<p>A few errors early on from the Black Ferns.</p>

Billy Tell

<p>Forced to watch this on the BBC....with Woodward :(</p>

<p>Try on the hooter. We finally kept the ball and Woodman got on the outside.</p>

Woodman has gas. How high are the yanks ranked?

<p>They came 6th in the World Series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some bad tactics from teams in the women's game.</p>

<p>Down to 6 women now. We haven't played well at all.</p>
