(Tri NZ) and the sport of triathlon generally are in very strong shape. When I wrote last year’s report the Olympic Games were just getting into full swing, and one year later the games seem like an age ago. Our Olympic athletes returned some excellent results, and of course particular congratulations go to Bevan Docherty for picking up a second Olympic medal. Whilst I know some of our Olympians are lamenting a day that didn’t end up quite as perfectly as they had dreamed of, I have no doubt that each one of the Kiwi’s prepared as well as they could and gave everything they had on the day. Congratulations to you all and to Stephen Farrell and the High Performance team for running a particularly successful Olympic campaign. Once again Kiwi triathletes have featured on the encouraging rate. This year more than 2,600 entries international arena in all sorts of exotic (and not so were received for the seven races, and the new event exotic) locations around the world.
