Rio Olympics

Just finished watching our girls win the Rugby sevens. I didnt even know that it existed, but boy oh boy what a fast and furious game. Went to bed knowing that our Aussie girls were to play Canada and was very surprised to hear this morning that they won.

Turned on the TV early this morning and USA and France were playing for fifth and sixth position again it was a very entertaining game. Then it was the playoff between Canada and Great Britain to be followed by the gold medal playoff between us and the kiwis, just gotta watch it.

The games are only seven minutes aside but in the medal round they played ten minutes a side.

We were down and then there was a try. Warren and I were urging them on to the line and getting a little loud, suddenly Lucy took off outside, poor dog, we think she thought she was being yelled at. The next try she stayed but looked uncomfortable. Just wait until we are watching AFL! Hopefully she will be used to us cheering on the TV by then.

Finally it was another gold for us, silver for the kiwis and bronze going to the Canadians. It is the first time that women's Rugby evens have been to the Olympics, not surprising as the game itself has only been on the world circuit for four years.

Glad that I can knit while watching otherwise it would be wasted time but I am getting things done.
