    Yeah, when she came in for the final shooting bit, she had a big grin on her face for some reason. Maybe thats her style but was wondering whether her focus was gone for some reason.

    Camera didn't focus on Natalya at the finish. Was she as out on her feet as some of the others I wonder?

    Come on GB. Take note, soccer and GAA players. This is tough to score in.

    Have to say that was a lot more interesting than a regular soccer shoot-out, so many different strategies as to how to score in 8 seconds. Maybe they could think about doing something similar in soccer, giving a guy say 10-15 seconds to score with a defender and a goalie to beat? I like it anyway.
