I want to acknowledge the huge amount of support provided by the families and friends of our athletes; also my old school mate, chef de mission Marty Toomey, and the rest of the team supporting the athletes; and also Victor Klap and the late Sir Eion Edgar, who were the driving force behind Wānaka's Winter Games for the last 10 years or so, that I think provided the springboard for the level of performance that our winter athletes are now performing at.
