Note Commonwealth Games: Day Eight

The day outdated to this I ran into Eilidh Bridgeman and Caroline Laing. Some 20 minutes later, I had gargantuan respect for them.

They’re the Cayman Islands squash doubles crew and they also had been completely thumped in all three of their pool fits (and I imply thumped).

They outlined to me how they balance squash with work and children, how they don’t comprise many enormous gamers to prepare with and the scheme in which one design on the Games became as soon as to invent a match last 20 minutes. None of them did.

« Or now not it is a form of issues the set each person feels moderately sorry for you and each person wants the underdog to set up a fight, » says Bridgeman.

« The scoreline doesn’t replicate about a of the rallies we had been having.

« We invent now not comprise a doubles court on Cayman, they’re bigger than a singles court, and that will be a principal thing. I judge now we have to hover to Philadelphia to score score admission to to a doubles court. »
