City Kickboxing haven't had any UFC fights during Aotearoa's winter months, beneath the radar though there are two major Kiwi-MMA angles out of Team CKB with Mike 'Blood Diamond' Mathetha grabbing a UFC contract and wahine toa Genah Fabian storming through the PFL Lightweight Women's Tournament.
Fresh off of becoming the only human to win two Olympic golf medals, Lydia Ko stormed home with a final round of 63 to finish tied-2nd at the Women's Scottish Open.
As Lydia Ko won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympic games and became the only human with two Olympic golf medals, the young kiwi-Korean wrapped up a fun Olympic campaign for Aotearoa's wahine.
That Lisa Carrington knows her way to a medal, doesn’t she? Truly one of the dominant Olympic athletes of the twenty-first century in her chosen sport. That was the third straight time she’s won the K-1 200m gold and she wasn’t done there either.
Aotearoa's Black Sticks Women went down 0-3 to Netherlands in their Olympic quarter-final last night, finishing their campaign with four consecutive defeats.
The official NZ Olympic Committee target was 16 total medals. At The Niche Cache we’re more ambitious so we set a mark of 8 golds and 20 total medals and wouldn’t you know it we’re halfway there.
Another major tournament for Black Sticks Men and another rather disappointing campaign.
