Last night NZ time the first New Zealand gold medals were claimed at Eton Dorney at the London 2012 Olympic games. Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan came from third place early on to win first place in the mens lightweight double sculls in the rowing. Everyone in NZ was behind them. WELL DONE BOYS! These now put New Zealand 19th on the medal table.....
It was an ENTREATING race! NZ were 5th with 500m to go. Then out of no where they fought hard and won GOLD!

GO KIWI's!! Gold at last hopefully it;s the first of many. I'm wondering whether Mahe Drysdale will do it tonight. Will you be watching?

Thank you for your comment Miss Nua.
DeleteYes I to hope that the kiwi's win more gold medals. Good to Mahe Drysdale and the NZ double sculls team of Hamish Bond and Eric Murry also won gold on the rowing.

Wasn't it a rivetting race! So exciting! I think everyone in NZ today have a glow of pride in them. Thanks for your write-up Kayde.
