This year’s Olympics has been all about rewriting history. Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh became the first same-sex married couple to win gold medals together in the same event, when
Britain beat defending champions Netherlands in women’s hockey, winning 2-0 in a tense shootout following a hard-fought 3-3 draw. Helen scored the first goal in the shootout, a penalty
stroke. 36-year-old Richardson-Walsh has been the captain of the national team since 2003. The couple had already become the first lesbian-couple to play together in a team since 2008. Kate
and Helen played their first Olympic Games in 2000 and reportedly started their romance in 2008, won a bronze together at London 2012 and got married in 2013. Great Britain has reportedly
had the highest number of openly gay athletes at Rio, with eight out of 44.
