Team GB - Hockey in the Riverbank Arena

We watched a tight and controversial final group match between Team GB and Spain with both having potential to qualify for the Semi-Final. After a 1-1 draw Team GB qualified. The rain then poured down as we watched an end to end 5-5 draw between Germany and New Zealand.

Great atmosphere in the Arena and fantastic support for Team GB with us joining in with the flag waving and chanting. The Olympic Park looked fantastic at night from high up in the stands.

Today Nicola is enjoying a well deserved day off before the "final sprint" to the Marathon, Mountain Bikes and the Closing ceremony  We watched the Costa Rican athlete in the Taekwondo on the TV. Unfortunatelty he lost, not sure how or why, the sport is still a mystery to us.
