That would be Kate "Tiki" Barber, captain of the U.S. women's field hockey team that is competing at the 2008 Olympic Games. The other Tiki Barber - you know, the one who played for the Giants and is now a broadcaster with NBC - is also in Beijing working his new gig.
In case you're interested, here's a live blog from the U.S. field hockey match vs. Japan. It is from a competing newspaper, so I won't give the name. But it is written by Lawrie Mifflin, a woman I have long respected in this business when I started out as a hockey writer back in the glory days of the Islanders.
I'm fairly certain back then that Ms. Mifflin would not have guessed that she'd be live blogging field hockey games at the Olympics. But ours is a strange business.

Didn't that woman used to cover the Jets for the NY Times?
No, this is not Karen Crouse, GridderTom, although I can see the resemblance.
