Team GB and Shona McCallin’s bid for the Olympic gold medal, came to an end after a 5-1 defeat to the Netherlands in the Field Hockey semi-final today.
Former KGGS pupil Shona, 26, from Dry Doddington, was one of the gold medalists from the Rio games, in 2016.
But all is not lost for Team GB as they will now prepare for a bronze medal match against either Argentina or India on Friday.
The match was seen as revenge for the Dutch, who were beaten in a penalty shootout in the gold medal match against Team GB in Rio five years ago, and they will now face the winner of the other semi-final for their chance at gold.
The Netherlands are the number one ranked hockey team in the world, and they showed all their quality as they swept aside the 2016 Olympic champions.
