Women's Football Olympic Bronze Goes To Canada

City of Coventry Stadium

The final Olympic event to be hosted in Coventry today was the Women's Football Bronze Medal match.  Canada beat France in the last minutes - completely against the run of play.  The photo above was taken on Friday when Canada beat Team GB for a place in the semi-finals.  There were hugs all round.  The photo below was taken today of Canada's chief supporter.  She was displaying her flag (with autographs) but needed a little help.  Coventry's finest to the rescue.  Wonderful!!!!!

PS.  Please note:  Sunshine, blazing sunshine!

City Of Coventry Stadium - Women's Quarterfinals

Great Britain vs Canada

I made it to an Olympic 2012 event.  My first visit ever to Coventry's magnificent football stadium.   Canada won by 2 goals. Unfortunately, Great Britian just didn't get into the game.  What an evening.  USA women played in Newcastle and are still in the competition....Go USA!
