This has been an Olympics like no other. Our first thankyou needs to go to the people and Government of Japan, who have sacrificed much to host the games. They were superbly organised and delivered in the most trying of circumstances. All New Zealand athletes and support crew report feeling safe and incredibly well looked after. The New Zealand team achieved excellence at the highest level. From the most experienced members of the team to the first-time Olympians, they constantly outperformed expectations and looked at home among the world's elite athletes.
