Sport commentator Peter FitzSimons has highlighted two words from Elizabeth Cambage’s explosive Instagram video that say it all.
Cambage also said fears of what she would experience during the Opals’ Olympics campaign while being stuck in the Olympics Village was a significant motivation behind her decision.“The thought of going into one of the most high-pressure situations, that is already in a bubble,” she said.Her declaration that she would have “no friends” at the Olympics was highlighted by FitzSimons on Sunday where he insinuated Cambage’s failure to have friends inside the Opals squad was telling.
“One thing that surprises me is where she says, ‘on the road, no family, no friends’. It surprises me that in an international team, all those women that she’s been playing with must have come up through the ranks with her in Australian basketball,” he said on Channel 9’s Sport Sunday.The Opals responded to her exit by producing a huge upset over gold medal-favourites, Team USA on Saturday morning.
