Lee Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I always like to see the Kiwis do well. I am surprised that theyre not higher in the medals table. They must have shaded the medals many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattygs Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Currently 21st on the medals table, reasonably happy with that I guess - for a country of 4.2million people. Perhaps the possibility for a couple more medals all going well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micheal_warren Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 So far New Zealand has matched the six medals it won in Atlanta and have beaten their results in Sydney and in Athens which won 4 and 5 medals respectively! There are still some chances for New Zealand in cycling, triathlon and in Sailing! So fingers crossed for a couple more medals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
