micheal_warren Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 New Zealand only ever won one medal in Hockey. It was 1976 when we beat Australia 1-0 in the final. Fingers crossed for a Bronze tonight... Go Kiwis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micheal_warren Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Its a shame that New Zealand didnt win a medal in the hockey. They went into the tournament ranked 6th so improved. We have a young team and will only improve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Rols Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 See you in 2014 with the real hockey!! May I remind you that the names of the two respective IF's are: International Hockey Federation (NOT Field Hockey), and the IOC refers to it as hockey, And the International Ice Hockey Federation (NOT just hockey) and the IOC refer to it as Ice Hockey.

He forgets, only a stripe of the planet can practice these sports properly. Regular sports = any sport that does not have weird rules, which many sports in the winter Olympics do not have. Majority of the world (Europe, NA and East Asia) winter sports are relevant. Just because Brazil is no where close to being there (hopefully Riberio wins medal in Sochi God Bless her) If you have an arena you can practice. Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore just opened skating rinks to train skaters in all disciplines. With coaches and adequate training there can be a potential Olympian from these places. If these three can do it why can't Brazil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woh wait, do Brazilians all hate Argentina - or just you? We may have more in common than I first thought... In sports, most Brazilians never support Argentine teams... Something very similiar to British people supporting every single team playing against Argentina in London... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only the poorer continents of South America and Africa is where winter sports are not developed We know very clearly who made us poorer... But besides your idiotic vision of the development of the nations, Africa and South America have not many places to play winter sports... My point is: Winter games are cool, great and fun. Just don't claim results of this over tropical countries... WE DON'T HAVE SNOW HERE, CARALHO! Don't be STUPID! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
