For the 17 days of the Tokyo Olympics, our New Zealand team have kept the country enthralled and inspired. In winning 20 medals, the team has achieved a record haul. That these medals were won across 11 sports is also a record. We finished a strong 13th on the medal table. More than all of that, the team has exemplified our values: competitive, resilient, and respectful. On and off the field of play, they have done us proud and given a new generation of athletes extraordinary role models to aspire to emulate.
