New Zealand is a very small country, with a population of around 4 million.
We love sport, with our first love being rugby union. We never have a large team to go to the Olympics, but we do dream of medals for our amazing athletes.

The reporter who interviewed those guys was a real blond. I suppose she lives in Grey Lynn but secretly wants to live in Ponsonby and drives a little cute four wheel drive.
Being Buddhist I acknowledge the guys not smashing her between the eyes with anything they had at her stupid comments such as "is being only the third best in the world sad for you?????
why does New Zealand stand for shit like that sucking up our taxpayer monies for inane and stupid commentary in the face of brilliance she will never achieve.
In my opinion she should have her current employment reviewed and be directed toward something more fitted to her.
Russell I totally agree.
It was the saddest part of the Olympics for me. The need to put others down speaks of emotional insecurity.
As I am a writer myself I have long thought New Zealand needs a charter of conduct in their journalism. This poor example is one but many examples unfortunately. I believe Public monies should only fund responsible journalism. This is not entertainment. I can only imagine the anger these rowers must have had toward this woman insulting them after many years of their hardest training.
and yes this woman could never achieve anythinbg like these men have.
