There was a lot of focus on their Hockey in the doc, lots of chat about how it took 8 years from when they won their last hockey gold in their first ever match on astroturf, to the first astroturf pitch opening in India

Definitely worth watching just for astroturf chat :slight_smile:

Why is the 4x400m always the last event? It hasn’t been competitive for men or women since I’ve been alive - US are always cruising (Chris Akabusi aside). So boring.

Not sure about McDermont’s sort of fake smile and big ‘come on!’ before each jump.

How do you feel about her immediately scribbling notes after every jump?

That’s absolutely astounding.

Wonder what happened with the 2017 worlds and 2018 euros* championships? Motherhood?

Saw this in Glasgow. Was ace.
