A special acknowledgement goes to Board region. We can now look forward to building a close relationship with Pyeongchang 2018 over member Chris Doig, who passed away after the Winter Games. His contribution to the Games the next seven years. was deeply valued by us all. For 2011 we added the sports of winter triathlon, adaptive snowboard cross and short track Now let us focus on 2013 when the 100% Pure New Zealand Winter Games will be held just speed skating, and Mt Hutt and Methven township hosted the alpine ski racing Super G and six months prior to the Sochi Winter Olympics – an opportunity for the world to come, train, a Big Air. Another innovation was adding an extensive festival programme in Queenstown, compete, and push the boundaries once again. Wanaka and Methven, that built a significant off-mountain Games atmosphere. Particularly successful was moving the awards ceremonies downtown to ensure a greater involvement and visibility within the local communities. Once again we received a high level of international media interest. Fifteen television programmes were distributed internationally, media uptake of Games images was double that of 2009 and our own social media marketing came of age. We do, though, still have some work Sir Eion Edgar. to do within New Zealand to increase media understanding and interest in snow and ice sports. Chairman Winter Games NZ Trust We continue to receive excellent support from our commercial sponsors, the New Zealand Government, the regional tourism organisations and the many Trusts that provided grants.

A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.
