Tokyo 2020: Team GB head coach Hege Riise says squad must deal with Olympic emotions


Hege Riise has urged Team GB to forget their emotions if they want to clinch Olympic gold. Riise's squad start their campaign against Chile in Group E in Sapporo on Wednesday (kick-off 8.30am BST) - two days before the opening ceremony in Tokyo. Sky Sports News understands Steph Houghton will captain Team GB in their opening game, wearing the armband ahead of co-captains Kim Little and Sophie Ingle. "It will be an emotional rollercoaster and how we deal with that individually and as a team will be crucial," said Team GB's coach. Team GB qualified for just their second Olympics after England finished fourth at the 2019 World Cup.
