Football - The women's tournament concluded - 0 points handed out to any of our teams as Germany took gold, Sweden the Silver, and Canada the Bronze.  USA, France, Great Britain, and Brazil all leave their teams reeling. (Brazil Nuts, PiranhaMama, Real Winner, Team Mark)

Field Hockey - Team Mark had a chance for Gold, but the Netherlands women fell short to Great Britain.  Silver it is.
