After a delay of a year, the 2020 Olympic Games are almost here! The opening ceremony is only two days away - and the first medals will be awarded the following day. However, a couple of events have already started (the early rounds of the women's football and softball competitions began today) - so, I think it's time I start the thread for reporting results, and general commentary on the games .
I'll start the results reports with a victory for Great Britain: we defeated Chile 2-0 in the women's football. However, the United States suffered a 3-0 defeat against Sweden... I thought the USA were a powerhouse at women's football, so what happened there ? On the plus side, though, the USA did secure a 2-0 victory over Italy in the women's softball, so it's not all bad news for them .
Sadly, there have been quite a few athletes withdrawing due to positive COVID tests, including American tennis prodigy Coco Gauff, and British shooting medal hope Amber Hill. Sad that the games will have to go ahead without them, but I wish them all the best in their recovery.
So, are there any events you're particularly looking forward to?
