HIGHLIGHTS<br />
2012 LONDON OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES<br />
Thirteen Olympic and 17 Paralympic medals won in London were the result of<br />
two things – a ton of hard work by our athletes, and their coaches and support<br />
teams, and smart planning and investment by <strong>Sport</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> and more<br />
recently High Performance <strong>Sport</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> (HPS<strong>NZ</strong>).<br />
VOLUNTEERING LEGACY FROM RWC 2011<br />
<strong>Sport</strong> <strong>NZ</strong> invested $1.5 million in the official volunteer programme for RWC<br />
2011, to ensure it left a lasting legacy. As a result, we now have a pool of<br />
5,500 up-skilled volunteers, many of whom are continuing to volunteer, and<br />
a bank of resources to help other sports and events recruit, train and manage<br />
volunteers.<br />
BUILDING A WORLD-CLASS <strong>SPORT</strong>S SYSTEM<br />
<strong>Sport</strong> <strong>NZ</strong> is now halfway through the roll-out of our six-year Community <strong>Sport</strong><br />
Strategy, providing investment and our expertise to make the delivery of sport<br />
at the grass roots as good as it can be, and to ensure there are sporting options<br />
available to fit every Kiwi lifestyle and ability.
