Meeeeh...yeeeaaahh...naaah...yeah? A higher total medal count but not topping the gold haul of 2012 (and I hope to be proven wrong). Have not invested any emotions in our team sports...(not expecting anything from Rugby or Field Hockey.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not invested any emotions in our team sports...(not expecting anything from Rugby or Field Hockey.) Well you are certainly in a positive mood. I think there is quite a good chance of topping the 6 gold in 2012. There is much greater depth in the chances this time than four years ago. Also not expecting anything from Rugby? They are both chances of a medal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there has been a deliberate plan of underwhelming hope in play here, the NZRU have not been helpful in getting a top Olympic team ready.

So have the capability of winning a medal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 The women's tournament has only 5 potential medalist barring a major upset. Australia, Canada, France, Great Britain and New Zealand. On the men's side I think only Spain, Japan and Brazil don't have a change at a medal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
