That could be the New Zealand Olympic Committee's motto as they put the finishing flourishes on their team to Rio. Is connecting these disparate strands to a lilywhite Olympic team fair? The spotlight really should fall on Sport New Zealand, and in particular High Performance Sport NZ. Ironic then that the NZOC are sending a team to the Olympics that bears little resemblance to modern New Zealand. We should have dressed this team in homburgs, garters and gloves because this is what New Zealand looked like in the 1950s.
