NZ SET TO DISAPPOINT IN PARIS
Ok only halfway through but to me the 2024 Paris Olympics is a disapointment for me as far as NZ is concerned.
Maybe we have been overrated so that expectations and hype have not come to fruition.
At Tokyo 3 years ago we won 20 medals covering 11 sports. There is no way we are going ro match this in Paris. Our .most gold at an Olympics has been 8 with 7 at Tokyo 2021.
The French have done an amazing job with these Olympics. The opening ceremony was outstanding and truly unique. The crowds have turned up - and how with 75000 daily watching the track &field and at a different stadium over 65000 daily in the stands for the rugby. The Tower has been an inspirational focal point and the standatds in the sports to date apart from skateboarding has been higher than ever before despite lack of world records esp in swimming. The shallow watered pool has been partially blamed for this.
The French are not perfect however and the incredible barring of a great and celebrated athlete from competing in the semt final of the 100m women will never be forgotten.

HAPAI CLUB WATER LEAK
I pass the hapai club regularly & wonder when the water leak from the toby will be fixed. It has been leaking for at least two months. Hundreds of litres running across the side walk & down the drain.
