Triathlete Tayler Reid and kayaker Alicia Hoskin are among the 11,000 athletes from 205 nations competing in the 2020 Olympic Games, which are officially opened in Tokyo tomorrow. Reid, fellow triathletes and men’s rugby sevens team members are pictured being welcomed to the Olympic Village. Right, Reid collects one of hundreds of pounamu pendants gifted to the Kiwi Olympians by South Island iwi Ngai Tahu. The pendants are called Te Taumata o Angitu (the pinnacle of success) and were designed by master carver Fayne Robinonson and hand-carved by a small group from West Coast hapu Ngati Waewae. They are in the form of a disc which reflects the sun, significant to Japan as land of the rising sun and Maori mythology. Other aspects of the pounamu design include the mangopare (hammer head shark) symbolising strength, and triangular indents representing taniwha teeth and featuring the phases of the moon. Reid is in action in the men’s individual triathlon on July 26 and the mixed team relay on July 31. Hoskin hits the water on August 6 for heats of the K4 500m.
