Agreed, very decent chances to grab a first career medal, especially in 400 IM. Well, just for today, we 2 have at least 2 serious medal contestants out of the Olympics due to Covid - Borodin and skeet shooter Amber Hill. I am really praying for this shit to stop!

Double pity the Commonwealth Shooting and Archery championship had to be cancelled too She seems to have been around forever but she's still only 23 so at least potentially there may be more chances ahead of her. mpjmcevoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprised they was no pre camp for Shooters - plenty of athletes not competing till later are already in Japan if not yet in the village. With how high the cases are in the UK they will be quite a few more from the UK testing positive either before departure or shortly after arrival in Japan I sadly suspect. She was tested several times and all were positive so no false test issues. The GB shooters have been in Tokyo since last Monday but I was surprised not to see Amber in the image they tweeted from the airport. Now we know why she wasn't there. mpjmcevoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
