■ From Page 1 ‘‘London was an unbelievable experience. I went from training in front of five or six people to competing in front of 17,000 spectators,’’ she told the gathering. Howarth competed in three events, 200m individual medley, 50m butterfly and 100 backstroke. She is totally dedicated to swimming, waking up at 5am to be in the pool for training at 6am, and out of the pool by 7am in time to get to school. She returns to the pool after school each day, then has her tea,does her homework, and is off to bed. Howarth is a shy, young, teenager, but once she slips into the pool her demeanour changes in an instant. She’s focused, determined and ready for everything that’s coming her way. All the Olympians had an inspiring message for the children, including Hamish Bond. ‘‘I like riding my bike and playing sport just like you guys. Train hard and you can achieve wonderful things too.’’ Gold medallist Joseph Sullivan explained TC180912CA03 his nickname of T-Rex: ‘‘Our arm span and BRONZE medallist Peter Taylor shares his height is meant to be the same, but I’ve got medal with Pokuru pupil Holly Harris. short legs and a long body.

They are loving being back home and soaking up the atmosphere at the moment. Waipa District Mayor Alan Livingston paid tribute to the Olympians for making the effort to attend the function. ‘‘How lucky and how proud we are to have so many of New Zealand’s medal winners living and training in our district.’’ Kihikihi Primary School’s kapa haka group honoured the Olympians with a rousing haka. The guests then signed autographs for the school children and public before making their way to Cambridge where a parade was held on Victoria Street, followed by a civic function outside the Town Hall.
