The NZ press has jumped on a perceived error within the judging panel, who placed the Kiwi in silver medal position after her final slopestyle run. It was by a snowflake, a mere .35 of a point behind eventual ...

Auckland needs sporting events. As many as possible. As big and flash and shiny as they come. 

The oft rumoured State of Origin has been teasing the populace for many a year. Rumours are still thick on the ground; this time it’s thought that the announcement will be as early as this month. Great if it happens, but it will be a one off I’d suggest, great for a stellar tourist weekend for the 09, but not the long term locked dow...

Joy. Respect. Aroha.  

This is snow sport.  

For the most part, those three words sum up the Winter Olympics.    

The crotch dropped pants and laissez-faire attitude of the snowboarders and skiers in big air, slopestyle, and halfpipe at the winter medal fest is a beacon of this state of mind.  

To watch the encouragement and enthusiasm of the competitors as they celebrate every athlete up against them, is t...
