I don't claim to be an expert in sports, to be fair, but what I do know is about the fantastic people and heart-warming stories from the New Zealand Olympics team. So I would like to take a moment to make a few acknowledgements, starting with Hayden Wilde winning our first Olympic medal and dedicating it to his father, who never got to see him race; the outstanding teamwork and culture of the New Zealand Women's Sevens team; Emma Twigg, who finished fourth in London and Rio, winning gold in her first Olympics as an out gay athlete; Lisa Carrington, the "GOAT in the boat", as another member to the right mentioned.
