OLYMPIAN DAY CELEBRATIONS
Communities gathered together in the Olympic spirit last week as the NZOC presented uniquely numbered pins to New Zealand Olympians in honour of 100 years of New Zealand Olympic History.
New Zealand now has 1111 Olympians a uniquely numbered pin has been minted for each.
From North to South Olympians and their families joined local dignitaries and members of the community to accept their pins. The functions also enabled Olympians to share stories, re-live their achievements and remember those who had gone before them.
