Football: Women’s Final
Though Team GB has already announced they won’t be participating in Paris, it doesn’t rule out Britain having participants. Former Chelsea manager Emma Hayes will take over the US women’s team at a significant event, and they are expected to compete strongly despite their poor showing at last year’s World Cup. The reigning champions Spain appear well-prepared to strengthen their grip on women’s football, while France’s les Bleus lack the stability to vie for a medal in their home Games. However, an intriguing group stage where only four of twelve teams are eliminated opens up the possibility for an unexpected standout team.
