History will be made on Sunday when the first married same-sex couple to compete together at an Olympic games take the field at Rio de Janeiro. British hockey players Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh began to date in 2018 after Kate broke off her engagement to Brett Garrard, the former captain of Great Britain men’s hockey team. The pair married in 2013. “We’re a couple, we love each other, and we happen to be playing in the same team,” Kate has told the BBC. “I think because our teammates and our friends and family have all been so supportive and understanding of that we also don’t see anything strange or different.”
