Hockey

Did you see any Olympic hockey? It was incredible! Fast paced, skillful and exciting! The men sadly missed out on a medal losing to India in the quarter finals but GB women won Bronze!

The teams had trained extremely hard and needed to also prepare their bodies to play in the heat of Tokyo.

All of these talented hockey players had to start at the beginning learning to hold a stick and hit a ball.
