Here we go!!
While it’s not officially day 1, the pre opening ceremony events officially get underway tonight! Soccer and Rugby 7’s both take centre stage.
It starts at 11:00pm AEST with men’s soccer. One of the heavyweights, Argentina, faces off against Morocco while at the same time, it’s Uzbekistan vs Spain. Host nation and gold medal favourites France face USA at 5am. Let’s see how they handle the early pressure.
The first Australian athletes are in action at 11:30pm when Australia faces Samoa in the men’s rugby 7’s. Short turn around for a second clash against Kenya at 3am. Gold medal favourites and winners of the only two previous rugby 7 Olympic events, Fiji, get started against Uruguay, then USA. Outside of Fiji, Argentina, Ireland, NZ and our boys are all expected to be in the medal mix.
Get those hot drinks ready, it’s about to begin!
